Thanks for the sensible answer. I don't know if she went too far, because I'm not her. But I do live way in the boonies, where my nearest neighbor is a mile away, and we DID buy a house that had been rented by drug sellers (now in prison) and fix it up at great expense of money and labor. It took all of us neighbors several years to get all of the bad element out of our area, to where it is now a really nice place to live.

We used to have a circle drive, but we had to close half of it off, because drug buyers would come in, blink their lights and honk in a particular sequence....we found drugs stored just off our property on state land...most often they'd come late in the evening...

We're armed, and we have a great yard dog, and there haven't been any dealers around for 6 or 7 years, but...
