you want to hear some farm mafia stuff? there is a wooden bridge just in the middle of our ranch over a creek bed that you can drive over. it has a sign on it that says "5 MPH" and it's kept up by the state. so you're driving through just grass for miles and miles and all of a sudden there's a sign that says "5 mph" and a wooden bridge you can drive over for no reason. Like 70 years ago they got dirt or sand or some crap or something else off our property in exchange for them building this bridge they drove over and agreeing to keep it up after they did it? something like that. they tried to back out of this agreement 50 years ago and like our ranch sued them and won and they have to keep up this bridge to nowhere in the middle of nowhere for no reason for eternity. well, it's in bad shape and needs to be replaced. so the state called my dad and offered him $200k to get out of the agreement. literally nobody has driven over this thing for the last 50 years and not even cows walk across it because the creek is dry AF. my dad said he'd have to run it by his attorney.
