The city cut a scar into the hill across from her home and created a new bypass. Ms. Glinda Ozland watched as cars roared where once she'd watched a lovely bit of nature.
She brought yard gnomes -- at least that was what the neighbors thought -- and settled them strategically across her yard. These gnomes were a sure counter to technology. The accidents started immediately. Nothing serious, but cars hit cars with alarming frequency over the next week.
The city tore up the street, rebuilt the hill, and planted dozens of trees.
Being a good witch, Glinda sent the gnomes home.
