I like Ezra Dyer. If I was American and a successful motoring writer, then that is who I would be. He has a great sense of humour (I'd have spelled that "humor" if I was American - but I'm not) - have a read of this. It's from the beginning of this year and prompted this story I read today.
It is about squatting - specifically this type of squat:
Looks stupid doesn't it?
So does this:
This is a Carolina Squat - a fad in the Carolinas whereby the front of a truck is raised and the back is left alone or even dropped.
I don't get it myself - the headlights will illuminate the sky and you won't be able to see where you are going properly.
But mostly it just looks like it is going uphill. I wouldn't want to carry my logs in that load-bed.
Anyway, it's likely that it is going to banned in North Carolina after a petition was signed by about 70,000 people - I find myself agreeing with a lot of the comments in the petition but I wouldn't go as far as signing it.
Squatter's rights? More like squatter's wrongs.
