THAT LITTLE SHED THINGY ON OLD 40 WEST OF AUGUSTINE'S

Everytime I pass by that new shed thingy with the two delapidated cars and old bbq grills standing there by the fence line in that beautiful vast expanse of wheat, I wonder what is going on. I've been further puzzled by the recent addition of a delapidated mobile home.

Well, my friend Marvin filled me in today on what he knows about it. It seems that patch of ground is owned by Steve Heath who is related somehow to Charlie Heath, if I have it right, and the ground is farmed by Joe Kjer, a previous state representative.

There may be an effort afoot to expand Charlie Health's auto dump...er, salvage yard... into that area. Charlie has another one on down the road on the north loop around Salina. You know where I mean.

Well, the presence of those unsightly things would lead one to believe there might be some truth to the rumor. There may be some litigation pending, as well, which is in some way relates to the mobile home. I'm sure the story will unfold in time.

P.S. Apparently this land extends to the brick house on the north side of the highway right by Augustines. Directly in front of it is a triangular piece of land that supposedly is the site the sight of the salvage yard. Then it extends west to the shed thingy. I can imagine the people who own the brick house are in a state of apoplexy.
