Granny says dey better move it outta the way or some big ol' truck'll come along an' smash it to smithereens...

Grandpa says dey better move it outta the way or the "sharp, aggressive, Sha chi quality energy" comes along an' smash it to smithereens... Excerpts from http://ezinearticles.com/?Can-a-Feng-Shui-Road-Location-Have-Bad-Energy?&id=2796513 "The placement of the property in relation to the road is one thing that you have to look into. The road in front of your house should not be directly heading to the path of your house. You should also avoid purchasing properties which are near a dead-end or a middle of a cul-de-sac, which is a bad Feng Shui road location. Bad energy will be invited into your property around these types of settings. This is based on the assumption that the energies around your house might be stagnant because there is no space to move around. The energies should be free-flowing and in order to do that, there must be enough space to move around. Stagnation will make any energy go bad." If the house could stand there securely for 100 years, it would certainly become the Eighth Wonder of the World. Then the state must buy it over and change it into a "Museum of Anti-Feng Shui" as it would have refuted all the theories of traditional Feng Shui. By that time, the building would worth more than what the owner had claimed because it would become a hot tourist attraction with tourist dollars instead of the "sharp, aggressive, Sha chi quality energy" flowing into the building.
