Anyone else get that sinking feeling in the pit of their stomach

@Freeranger I grew up next door to my grandparent's farm, and surrounded by dairy farms. It was a very agricultural area.
Now it's mostly strip malls and housing developments .

@cherokeepatti I know from a lot of the things you post your heart is in the farms and countryside.

@robingoodfellow They are trying to put a turnpike through the area I am talking about. The residents are up in arms about it. One arm of that turnpike plan goes adjacent to a lake and a federal agency got involved and said it was too close to the waterways and stopped it. I hope they stop the other arm of it too, it’s in an area that is full of wildlife and has a very low population density, one of the lowest around this area due to farms and other green spaces. I see deer, wild turkeys, owls, hawks, coyotes and other wildlife in the area. I figured who will profit from this turnpike more than anyone else is Walmart corporation. It is a turnpike that bypasses the interstate highway through the Oklahoma City metro area. I’d be willing to bet that Walmart is planning on using self-driving trucks and they want to bypass that metro area. There is a huge Walmart warehouse in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma and others south to Texas. It would be fairly smooth sailing all the way from Bentonville or where ever their warehouse is in Arkansas to Texas.

@DrWatson sadly that's true. The family farm is an endangered species.

And, where will the animals go?
