<x-flowed>Hey John, I think I'm your next door neighbor! 8-D  hahahahaha

Yeah, one of the many reasons I got my house was because there was no stupid 
home owners assoc. and their choking rules.  I understand COMPLETELY about 
them so everyone spare me the details but my point of view: I dropped over 
$150K of my own debt and I pay my taxes (Oregon has high property taxes, BTW) 
so I'll be _damned_ if some group of local yokels are gonna tell me how I 
should paint my house and how many cars I can have on the street!  There 
should at least be provisions for those who have bigger hobbies than knitting.

I think what saves me somewhat is that I'm the only adult (using that term 
loosely) that actually talks with the kids and lets them play on my lawn and I 
also help some neighbors with their cars.
