Great Minds Think Alike
Those of you who’ve been following this blog for a few weeks (all 5 of you) might remember the mailbox sagas. If you aren’t familiar read these posts. Today the story gained a new chapter.
The weather was pretty nice and we were playing outside with Link. Two of our neighbors were playing with their kids in the yard adjacent to ours and Vicki and I stopped to talk to them for a bit. Unfortunately I went in to take a shower (I’d just had a hair cut) and missed what would have been the funniest conversation ever.
One of the neighbors told Vicki that someone else in the area was constantly having his mailbox run over. So what did he do? He built a cement one. No kidding. Both of the neighbors who were telling the story seemed to think the guy was a complete ass. Vicki refrained from telling them about this here blog and my desire to build one that is not only made of concrete but packed with explosives.
We’re not sure exactly which house they were referring to, so tomorrow I’m going to have to drive around and look for the yard with a newly built cement mailbox. I’d like to shake that guy’s hand. And he might have some construction tips for me.

Skip the concrete planters and mailboxes, just skip directly to what's used by professionals who absolutely, positively need to stop that vehicle:

How about that tagline — “Advancing the science of anti-terrorism vehicle control”? Reckless drivers are terrorizing your front yard, aren't they?

Ha, that's pretty awesome. I can't think of a way to make it unsightly, having a couple posts sticking up, but it looks highly effective.
