When building an ill-fated nuclear power plant in Satsop, Washington about 30 years ago, they needed to get some zillion pound generators to the site- rather than beef up the railroad, they wanted to build a super road through the farmland, including that of Alice "Granny" Mock, an 80 year old woman who milked Jerseys, had had about 40 foster kids, everybody loved her, you get the picture.

She ended up with a petition from nearly a thousand local folks who pledged to come lay in front of the bulldozers if they tried to come on her property (me included).
