And you find growing drywall cracks interesting rather than alarming.The Opinionated Homeschoolerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07998448933609444830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-52770567600021834752007-02-01T01:58:00.000-05:002007-02-01T01:58:00.000-05:00Austin seems to be HOA-crazy in particular.

I imagine if you venture outward some towards Plano & Frisco, you may see a higher incidence of HOA's.<br /><br />I share your disdain for HOA's.

They are pretty amazing... you'd think they could come up with better ways to spend their time than counting the number of days since a car has been moved or watching to be sure everyone puts their garbage cans away quickly and in the correct locations. And woe to you if you let your grass grow too long or get a few weeds in your driveway cracks!<BR/><BR/>Luckily we've been able to lie low and avoid notice, but still I'm really looking forward to moving out of here!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689104216675201913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-1170265992799034122007-01-31T12:53:00.000-05:002007-01-31T12:53:00.000-05:00You know, I saw that play in the library just the ...You know, I saw that play in the library just the other day.
