Jones, Oklahoma is a clash of rural farm / ranch and Oklahoma City suburbia. If I was guessing, this guy moved into multi generational ag community and set up a over sized garden. His garden immediatley affects the weed control practices of his neighbors. He doesn't care if those around him can't spray soybeans, cotton or pastures due to the chance of drift and getting sued by him. I saw this when cotton moved into north central Oklahoma across the river from Osage grass country. In one season the Osage ranchers could not aerial spray grass within 30 miles of cotton. They had no way to control noxious weeds without the threat of lawsuits from the new cotton transplants. It was selfish.
Grapes and the stupid vineyard tourist crap is the worst. A damn yuppie hobby can affect all the neighbors around for miles. Grape people don't care. Doesn't matter to them that their neighbors have thousands or millions borrowed to implement financial plan that is based on 100 plus years of practices in that area.
The guy probably got what he deserved.

This is what I came away thinking. Where I am, close enough to KC for a commute, but still in the sticks enough for land to be "cheap" you see a great deal of "city people" coming out. Some get it, there is a very nice black family down the road from me. The wife and I saw them on one of our evening bike rides. Talked for about an hour in the middle of the road. Said he moved out as he was sick of hearing gunfire every night. I told him you will likely hear it every day here, but not much at night. He said it is very different. They are part of the community. The people they bought the house from, I called the "little activist" was always pushing some agenda, she did get our main road chip n' sealed, but getting it out of the school district, trying to pass zoning laws around buildings and "junk", change the laws around "hoofed" animals, that did not earn them many friends, and they left fairly quickly. You see quite a few 3-4ac "gardens" and that is what I imagine this story was about. He is trying to bend everyone else around him to his way of thinking and the people are getting sick of it. I have a feeling if he puts up cameras to "watch" his property they will become damaged by rifle fire at distances too far away for the camera to see.

Bottom line if you move to the country you had better plan on converting to their way of life, if you want your way of life you are not going to be happy out there. It is a different america, and there is a great many of us old quite folk that just want to be left the hell alone and not to be fucked with.

Mercaptan, a sulfur compound that is added to natural gas and LPG as odorant and leak detector, is one of the most aromatic substances ever known. The concentration of mercaptan in commercially sold propane gas is around 3-10 PPM and it is strong. If just a single railcar or truck carrying the pure stuff derailed or crashed and started leaking, oh boy that would suck for a large area...

A truck carrying a load of it crashed a couple miles from my house when I was a kid. Our dog barking woke up the neighbor, who called about the smell, and was informed a truck crashed up on the high way. He told us about it in the morning and asked if we smelled it. We slept though it.

I bought my property in 2000, just officially moved here full time about 2 years ago.

A neighbor/friend called me yesterday to help deal with a steer who had broken his back somehow. I think I've assimilated. :)

30 House Democrats say their 'Catholic faith' compels them to defend abortion - LifeSite

‘The fundamental tenets of our Catholic faith — social justice, conscience, and religious freedom — compel us to defend a woman’s right to access abortion [sic],’ reads the letter, signed by Nancy Pelosi and dozens of other dissident Democratic lawmakers.

Their faith is not that of the Catholic Church or God's teachings. They have actually excommunicated themselves and have placed their souls in grave danger. They will find that there is no place for them in heaven and that hell awaits.
