The problem with caring about things which you have little influence is that it's easy to become depressed. I've got a friend who is addicted to following left media and is a huge Obama fan (so by default must hate everything Trump). She's absolutely miserable all the time. She gets physically ill all the time because stress causes a lowering of the immune system.

The trick is to care about the things you can reasonably influence, and let everything else go. I offer my philosophical perspective here, and it's up to others to incorporate it, or challenge it.

I like the idea of a top-mounted wheeled drone weighted by low batteries, and perhaps solar charged. Get a bunch of them spaced out to run a beat on a 5 mile section of fence... the earth falls away at about 1ft per mile. At 5 miles, you lose 5ft of visibility to the horizon. Top mounting these should make them easily capable of 5+ miles visibility.

Apply machine learning so they get better and better at rejecting false positives and identifying real ones.
