In a surprise move today, the head Condo Commando called me this morning.
He excused himself for not getting back sooner by saying he was on sick
leave, and that they weren't going to fine us. “Read the letter more
carefully,” he said.
I scanned the letter. “ 'You will be subject …',” I
said.
“That's a far cry from being fined,” he said. “So, do you have a
dog?”
“No. I have a cat.”
“Pets aren't allowed here.”
“There are other people with cats,” I said. “Quite a few
places.”
“Well, give me their names and addresses and I'll send them letters
too.”
“I don't wish that! Besides, we have an indoor cat. It never goes
outside. It's never been outside.”
“Well, the Vice President of the Board complained …” Aha! That's who
turned us in! “… so I'll get back with him about it.” The call ended
there.
I did not mention the other problem
we're having. I figure since the head Condo Commando didn't mention it, he
doesn't know and I suspect they may have gotten us confused with another
unit, with a dog and unauthorized occupants.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
