...Like the issue of a 24-hour library, extending dinner dining hours is a no-brainer and should have been discussed and enacted many years ago. But we realize that such an expectation smacks of idealism.

Racing against mildew and termites, he buys more barns than he can afford from farmers glad to be rid of debris. "It's bad business, but I don't know how to stop," he explains without remorse. "I'm barn rich, cash poor...
