Hey NVB!
Over-Reach is REAL!
And it's here!
OK!
OK!
We've already HASHED it out in the LaVoy Threads!
I'll STFU Now!
Just one Example NVB & I'll leave LaVoy out of it!
Remember the Guy in Wyoming that Built the Pond?
Don't know How He Pulled it off But He Handed their Asses to Them!
Not Saying He was 100% Right because I don't know every Detail?
I Do know you can't just Build a Pond because You decided to in today's World!
But back many Years ago the LandOwner could do just about what He wanted to as long as it was His Ground!
Don't Try that in today's World!
OVER-REACH is Real & Getting Worse!
If You can't See that you are very Blind!
