As the weather warms and you start to venture outside, be careful where you walk.
If you come across a purple fence post, it’s best to stay away.
A purple fence post is meant to send a message to anyone who comes across it, and that message is: No trespassing!
While property owners have the option of hanging a sign to indicate private property,
signs can deteriorate over time while paint will last a lot longer and still convey the same message.
In 1987 Arkansas became the first state to implement a purple paint law. Currently,
22 states have laws allowing landowners to mark the perimeter of their property with purple paint.
However, while some states use different color paint – Idaho and Montana use orange paint – the idea is the same.
At first many governments required landowners use purple paint and signs, but overtime signage was no longer required.
However, if you live in one of the 28 states that does not have a purple paint law, you may be unfamiliar with its meaning.
A painted post or tree means no trespassing.
In order to comply with the law, the purple stripe must be 3′ to 5′ off the ground and at least 8″ long and 1″ wide.
The markings must not be more than 100′ apart.

Baby who weighed 16 pounds in 1983 is now an adult and still known for his huge size




When twenty-four-year-old Patricia Clarke found out she was carrying her second child, in 1983, an amazing adventure started. Her family was notorious for producing enormous babies, so she had a sneaking suspicion that her child would be a little larger than average. However, she had no idea how large her child would end up being.
Kevin Robert Clark is the baby boy Patricia gave birth to. At birth, he was unusually large—more than sixteen pounds! This makes him possibly the largest infant in New Jersey as well as the largest baby ever born at Community Memorial Hospital. Kevin was thankfully healthy even though he was too big for a typical crib and newborn clothes.
People were initially drawn to Kevin because of his size. He even made appearances on TV programs like “Saturday Night Live” and “Good Morning America,” and he was widely discussed across the nation.
But Kevin’s development didn’t end there. He continued to develop, reaching a height of 5 feet 7 inches by the time he was 12 years old. He stood six feet five inches tall in junior high. Kevin found comedy in the fact that others were now enquiring about his height. “I like to joke that I’m 5-foot-21,” he said. I inquire about miniature golf when someone asks if I play basketball.

Kevin is 39 years old and has a height of 6 feet 9 inches. He was in the military before and resides with his 6-foot-6 wife and Great Dane. He claims to have accepted his unusual size and grown accustomed to being larger than nearly everyone else.
Kevin’s life has been an adventure in navigating attention and people’s curiosity, but he appears to be doing well. He’s a fantastic example of living a confident life and accepting what makes you unique. We are very inspired by Kevin’s tale and hope that all of his future pursuits turn out well!
