The HOA "Architecture" Gruppenfuhrer either got strafed by a P-51, got fired or left because I hurt her feewings.

She didn't answer of my emails so I called in yesterday and finally got through. ...."Gruppenfuhrer Palacios of 154 SA Abteilung is no longer with us"

The HOA chicks send me 15 pieces of threatening mail and when I finally answer they wilt on first contact Same thing happened the chick before Christine.

If they threaten to do anything illegal . . .

Then again, being in the medical profession and maybe knowing who their medical providers are, maybe see if things like colonoscopies may be needed!

I think that would be unethical but being a smarmy, sarcastic, paternalistic old guy is expected.

I want to put in some bistro lights to use at parties but I figured they would give me **** so I left them off the plan but included them in the materials list.

The new Gurppenfeuhrer is not as stupid as Frau Palacios. She was on it right away. Now I have them get them signed off by the neighbors and send in new plans with "setbacks" to neighboring properties

Of course when some brown shirt on the board gets mad at the whole street for opposing the property split up the street there is no notification requirement to come out in the middle of the day, chop down some 25 year old rosemary bushes and put up a big ugly yellow sign on my tree row to tell people to turn right when every idiot can see the road bends.

Big raid on Darwin. I had moved the fighters up to New Guinea. Evidentarry JJ spotted this and surmised an opportunity. The problem is Darwin now has level 7 forts, four full AAA regiments and hundreds and hundreds of smaller AA guns. Also, once you put a hole in a Nell, the balsa wood tends to fall apart on the long way home to Kendari. 30-40 Nells lost.

Interested to see what happens to the CVE Unyo. They tend to be fragile, as I recall.

My HOA cut down three of the four trees I had in the front yard. They replaced one with a crappy bush that seems to hate the California summers.

The HOA dues have outstripped inflation every year so far. I wish my investments could do so well...
