LEAVE IT TO PEEVER exists to give the other side of the story. Challenge the status quo. Confront conventional wisdom. This is sadly needed. I believe it is best to always cast positive doubt on the powers that be. It helps to even up the story.Or score. Please feel free to comment and submit articles. Not everything needs to be serious. I use a lot of slapstick humor, satire, and pontificating. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. We're about to embark on a survival adventure.

GET A SECOND OPINION
Sunrise or sunset? For a brief moment, you might be unsure.
The directionally challenged. A moment of doubt. Is it a new beginning, or the
end? Everyday, the same. Start or finish.

THE DAY AFTER EASTER-A PLEA
A PRAYER FOR THE POA
We elect the POA. That makes them amateur politicians. They're poor ones.
Our last two presidents have been military. That's never good. Military trained
colonels are not fond of democracy. They aren't used to it. The military is as far
away from democratic rule as you can get. Do as I say, no need to discuss
it. They never can get over that. So we have a POA that is not very democratic.
In some ways, this comes with the territory. Private clubs do not need to be
democratic. And that is basically what we are. A private club with gates. The
POA has seven reasons why they can go into private, closed session. The seventh
basically states we can go into closed session whenever we think it is
necessary. Despite continuous protests over this, they have never changed it.
The state of Arkansas has three reasons why they can go into closed session.
You can see the disparity. Anyway, the POA needs a lot of changes. And they
never come. I voted for a director in the last election who immediately did
what she said she wouldn't do. That was vote to support a closed session. She
has since quit. No reason given. She has an obligation to me and whoever else
voted for her to serve. If not, she owes us an explanation. This isn't a
backyard tree house club. Although it is a club, and there is probably a tree
house somewhere in the Village. The only good directors we have had are
quitting. They can’t stand the pain.
God, I am sorry my prayer has turned into something of a rant. I don't know
what you can do. We're the fools. Maybe grant us dispensation for our
foolishness, and let's call it even.Amen

DOG DAZE
