A sordid and mundane little situation but perhaps interesting.
My wife and I purchased 40 acres in SW Missouri sometime in early July. The only problem was a family of squatters on the land who refused to leave. Former owner was obligated under the contract to get rid of them. Lawyers, etc, etc they played on his sympathy and played the matter again and again. I got tired of the game and this past Monday evening I drove to a hill on the property overlooking the occupied house, pitched camp built a fire and made a big show of marking my territory. (sometimes literally) It has taken several cold and sometimes wet days but they finally packed up and left my land yesterday. My wife and I move in tomorrow morning. Only in Missouri.....
