Gator, I�m sure you know this, but others may not �and I�m speaking for the �new� Texans that have overwhelmed our state with massive corporate headquarter moves to our major cities.

I speak as a �city boy� with rural ancestral roots.

A personal experience on our family property with new neighbors with their high and mighty ways, brought in their bull dozers and dozed our fence and built a new on the survey offset stakes instead of property survey, 10 ft inside our property.
No contact or communication � just sent an un-supervised crew to build the fence.
We were just country yokels who they looked down on.

If city folks would take the time to get acquainted with rural folks, learn their culture and heritage, and �learn� to speak their language even if it sounds funny, you can have good neighbors who will help you in time of need.

The old fence my grandpa built was good enough for me.
