I’m visiting a rural part of the southern US, and I have noticed that about 2/3 of the houses outside the town have yards full of cars and tractors in various states of disrepair, as well as tons of other miscellaneous stuff. Why is that? Is it kind of a culture of self-reliance and a supply of spare parts? Some other reason?
My favorite are the old bathtubs stood up and half-buried with statues of the Virgin Mary or Jesus inside.
Who would make the Holy Virgin or Sacred Son stand outside in just any kind of weather without shelter?!
