  • Considering board members are made up of residents, there’s a good chance it was one of them then. Even them, that’s some petty nonsense.

    My mom’s neighborhood is an HOA, and they have a rule of no work/utility truck overnight parking. I have a shell and lumber rack on my truck that has a conduit box and ladders on it, and she’s gotten flagged for it a couple of times (there’s a specific crotchety old neighbor she suspects), but she’s just told them to go pound sand, and that’s somehow worked.

    Fuck HOAs. I’ve vowed to never live in one. I know it’s not an option for some people due to where they live, but I am not dealing with that crap.









  • However, it was pretty jarring when I heard them play a song I distinctly remember hearing on the radio as a kid riding in the back of the van getting dropped off for 1st grade (or some such young age)

    Shit, I remember tuning in to KLOS (So Cal classic rock) a while back and being super confused as to why they were playing Nirvana. As Bob Dylan said, “The times, they are a-changin”

    Don’t get me started on XM/Sirius/whatever

    Most stations, despite a live DJ (I think), play the same 40-50 songs all day everyday, often on the same timetable. So if you heard say Free Bird at 2pm, you’ll hear it the following day at the same time within 20ish min. And I’d imagine every station is like this.

    It came free in my truck for a year, sweet. The only reason I kept it was because I was able to keep swinging the $6/month thing, and I really only want to tune into the Dead channel whenever I please, and only because Lemieux has an excellent rotation of live shows. But even they play the same studio cuts at the same time of day. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m still rebuilding my music server, I’d likely have dropped them, but still, any mainstream radio service is pretty much poopy.
