There’s a certain luxury to having a blog.  You’re allowed to opine even if you don’t have much worth pining on—probably should have ended in a proposition instead of a preposition.  Oh well.

A while back I wrote this post–https://healthcareitstrategy.com/2009/09/29/social-media-an-example/. As you can see from the title, I pretended it had something to do about social media and healthcare, just to get you to read it.  Actually, the whole purpose for the blog was to rant about my neighbors.  I’ll pause a moment to allow some of you to catch up to the rest of us.

They have become my personal Stasi, our neighborhood brown shirts.  Since the writing of the prior post, one of our dogs died.  My wife is on our neighborhood board, as is our other neighbor.  What makes this doubly delicious is that the brown shirts seem to miss the silliness of complaining to the board about a member of the board.  Perhaps they think my wife takes off her bad neighbor hat and puts on her board member hat to more properly disperse judgment against herself.

So, the board gets another letter from Brown Shirt stating that a member of the community—us—is in violation of some noise clause in the homeowner’s agreement.  I read the letter.  Technically, we are not violating anything.  Our dog is the one making the noise.  I suggested the board send a letter instructing them to correct their syntax.  The suggestion carried no weight with my wife.

Sorry this has nothing to do with much of anything other than writing it probably prevented me from going to the SPCA to get a really, really loud dog.
