I think it is great. Better than the constant streams of billboards, strip malls and trailer parks.
I like it too! I was at the Cadillac Ranch in '06, and found it kinda neat also! I've joked about doing something like that with old lawnmowers.....or even doing 'lawnmower henge'.
It's certainly doesn't seem to be hurting anybody, and it seems the only ones that it's
really p*ssing off are the County officials....so I say leave it be! Let the gubmint get their own house's in order before they start sticking their (unwanted) noses into other peoples' business!
We have a county 'environmental inspector' that's always sticking his nose into things that don't concern him. He was snooping around the farm of a friend of mine, unannounced & uninvited, and totally ignoring the "No Trespassing" signs. My friend asked him who he was, and what he thought he was doing, and the guy replied that he was Mr. So-and-so the County inspector, and he was going to look around a bit. My friend told him that he didn't care if he Jesus Christ incarnate, and that he was trespassing on private land and if he didn't vacate the premises post-haste, he'd be leaving handcuffed in the sheriff's car. He refused to leave, the sheriff was called, and the dumb@ss county inspector was arrested for trespass. That wasn't the first (or last) time that he got nailed for trespassing.
I think the gubmint could cut some wasteful spending by cutting out a few of these pea-brained 'inspectors' that have crawled a shore from the shallow end of the gene-pool. If there is a clear and present danger or health hazard, fine, deal with it. But if it's just somebody doing something unique and/or humorous.....then get a life, and leave it alone!
The Bates' family ought to try to get a
Federal grant for their 'artistic' endeavor.....that would pretty much lock the county out of the whole affair.
