being neighborly

[Tormahto]

You can't possibly imagine how much land is being swallowed up around where I live.
I can't even remember what some places looked like.
I went down a road I used to travel on some time ago and the countryside is completely gone.

When I moved here 30 years ago, it was a 2 acre lot size minimum. That didn't last long!
They decided to bring in water and sewer services, in spite of high cost to residents and a lively debate.
Now almost all the area between my home and the main road (and river) including the steep hillside is high density residential, a complete switch to urban. So much land has been developed in the area it has become the highest density of population in our sprawling town (two towns amalgamated).
There's another piece of the subdivision going in again probably starting this summer, so I'm girding for a rat year.

On the bright side, if you get enough development, the Rolling Stones just might finally book your place on a tour.

Actually they have been here.
My wife bought tickets for a concert in Austin and I didn't want to go because it was outside and the walk was horrible at zilker Park.
So she went with another girl.
She got back and said it was horrible.
Next I'm not a Rolling Stones fan.
I like some songs but not many.
Last concert for me was David Bowie.
Best concert ever.
It's like the guy did all his music from the beginning to almost the end of his life.
What a class act.

I was referring to Bower, in Newfoundland.

Well that would be an event.
The Viking tour.
