Sold! Sold! Sold!

Sold six damn years ago.

God damn it Jerome I wish you would come and argue the case for my ridge top property. It is close enough to the transmission lines, says me, and they keep saying not yet, not yet, maybe next year we will get to you. While my neighbor 15 miles away as the crow flies - well, the red-tailed hawk really - my neighbor is cashing in.

Everything else to one side, like local jobs and all the rest of it, at $400/month/turbine plus a little bit up front, I'd be set up and could maybe afford a vacation again hallelujah. I've never gotten around to Paris, I hear it's nice in the spring.

Wouldn't you know my grandparents would focus on the best soil for miles around and neglect to settle near where a transmission would be a hundred years later? What the hell were they thinking?

Jesus, you'll be rich as a troll. :)

Of course, the landowners (resource holders) are still underpaid... but that's the effect of The Chicago School.

Still, "you'll be rich as a troll" then troll-rate me PLEASE.
