State Employees
I live down a private road, about 1/8th mile from a state highway. The road is privately owned, privately maintained. So why, within the last week, have I intercepted state highway personnel driving on this road?
The first time, the guy said he was just looking for a place to have his lunch. Never mind the fact there are at least four or five parking areas within a half mile of my home, he wants to come up my road and have his lunch--what he didn't tell me was that he had another mower and two trucks that would come right along with him. There are no wide places in this road for him to pull off, so he wanted to inconvenience six people in three families so that he would have a place to eat.
Today, one of their pickup trucks came down the road today about 11:15 am. Do you think they wanted to have lunch also? May be, because not too long after they came down the road and had to back back out to the highway because a resident was coming the other direction, they left the area with their other pickup truck, endloader/backhoe, and two dump trucks and did not return until shortly before 12:30 pm.
The gall of these people. No one has ever invited any of them onto this road, and yet they seem to think they can go anywhere they choose and no one should have anything to say to them. Too bad, because I do--STAY OUT. If we wanted them, they wouldn't even glance this way.
