Satellite antenna dish in full view - a violation of the HOA rules.
However, the over-zealous HOA's have been trumped by the US government on satellite dishes. I hope we eventually abolish HOA's totally. Most buyers don't realize just how many of their property rights they give up when moving into an HOA regulated house. Yes, they do some good but it's not worth the loss of freedom. Mostly the dues go to friends of the HOA members who do property management and/or landscaping.
Which is more important to property values? No control so homeowners can do what they please, accepting that sometimes homeowners may do something to reduce the beauty fo the neighborhood? Or tight control like a Stalinist stae where everything is highly regulated by a central committee?
Rockville Maryland. March 30 2017. Around two dozen activists and supporters affiliated with a group named Help Save Maryland rallied in front of Carver Educational Services Center to challenge the Montgomery County School Board response to an alleged rape incident at Rockville High School involving a 14 year old girl and two older reportedly "illegal aliens" from El Salvador. The HSM folks I interacted with were approachable, polite and largely respectful of my activities of documentation. On the other hand, the speechifying by the group exemplified 'dog whistle' bigoted politics in every way you could imagine. One speaker even shouted out Takoma Park, DC and San Francisco as bastions of anti-Montgomery values that were infecting our County. Anti Immigrant? Check? Anti LBGTQ? Check. Hippies Destroyed Western Civilzation? Check! A dozen or so counter demonstrators mobilized by Indivisible Maryland quietly protested HSM.
“Warm, friendly and informal”
Riad Dar Najat
Two of us (women over 55) stayed for 3 nights - our first visit. We were picked up from the airport and made welcome from the moment we arrived. They had made a mistake with our booking but this was sorted out entirely to our satisfaction - and from then on, everything was great. Our room was in Black Zitoun, a riad under the same management, only a few minutes walk from Dr Najat, but we could use the communal facilities of both. The roof terrace was perfect for breakfast, for relaxing with a glass of wine watching the sunset in the early evening and for sitting under the stars late at night. Abdul organised tours for us: a tour by car of more distant sights, a walking tour of the souk and a whole day tour out towards the Atlas mountains. They were well worth the money - just the two of us and guide, all arranged at our pace so that we felt we saw a lot in a short time without feeling at all rushed. When we went out to things we'd arranged for ourselves, staff escorted us there and back. Tariq did that in the evening and was always cheerful, even when we sat up quite late on the roof terrace while he served us with wine. All the other staff (the only one whose name I caught was Said) were equally friendly and good humoured - an ideal place for a short break in a fascinating city!
The I Have To Shoot What?! Challenge for Week 46: Valued Item
This week, I took the liberty of putting just a few items together that may not mean much monetarily (if anything at all) but signify much meaning in my heart. On the left is one of many heart-shaped rocks that Greg finds for me whenever we go to the beach or anywhere there are rocks on the ground... On the right is the perfume we purchased on our honeymoon in Bermuda. And in the background is a scarf that belonged to my mother's mother, who I never had the chance to meet as she passed when my mother was just 19...

Maurizio Cattelan was born in Padua, Italy, in 1960. Since the early 1990s Maurizio Cattelan has been internationally recognized for his humorous and ironic works which provoke and challenge the limits of contemporary value systems. Maurizio Cattelan’s retrospective, Sussurro, will be showcased at the Serralves Villa, a 1930s Art Deco house. The exhibition brings together a selection of works deeply connected to history, reflecting Cattelan's approach to art. In addition to the pieces displayed in the Villa, sculptures by the artist will be installed throughout the Serralves Park. Together, these settings offer a unique contextualization of both Maurizio Cattelan´s work and of Serralves Park and Villa.
Most of the works selected for Sussurro demonstrate Maurizio Cattelan’s interest in History: historical changes, historical trauma, and historical icons. The times of transition, these in-betweens, seem to captivate Cattelan. The hanging, elusive moment between childhood and adulthood, between life and death, between historical eras, between laughter and sobs, is the source of his iconography. He turns these moments into icons.
Maurizio Cattelan has conceived his work as a series of saynètes populated by a cast of characters ranging from, and raging with, historical figures, self-portraits, friends and acquaintances, a bestiary, children, to familiar objects, locations and images. A détournement… a family of misfits, including direct references to some of his ancestors: Joseph Beuys, Lucio Fontana, Giovanni Anselmo, Piero Manzoni, Mario Merz, Jannis Kounellis, Carlo Collodi, Walt Disney, Günter Grass, Volker Schlöndorff, Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick… and between all the lines, Andy Warhol, for his furtive relationship to public image, his status as an image-maker, his entrepreneurial and publisher scheme, and his obsession with death.
The saynètes demonstrate an understanding of space that is quasi-theatrical or cinematographic. Locations, as the Serralves Villa, are key; framing, angles and sightlines are never innocent, nor is Maurizio Cattelan; and the overall context is a defining perception of the work. Scenography and art directing are as important in his work as the historical or cultural references. His conception of space and the way we, as visitors, encounter the works, is fully informed by the legacy of conceptual and minimal art, the phenomenological approach to space and to the awareness of space. The way the objects are strategically positioned, oriented in a room, on a public square, affects and informs our apprehension and reading of the works.
Sussurro is to Serralves what Hieronymus Bosch’s Temptations of Saint Anthony is to the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga in Lisbon. The Tentation de Lisbonne has now its symmetrical with the Tentation de Porto. Bosch’s painting is an exacerbated spectacle of human madness, the vision of a world spinning towards an end with the background of Biblical allegory of good and bad, the psychotic vision of decay where humans and animals dance towards their damnation on a scorched earth. With Bosch, grotesque and humor, mimicry and blasphemy are extracted from the world and expose, iconically, the complicity between humanity and corruption. Images are salvation.
Maurizio Cattelan breaks in a culture in which the question of the place, the role, the veracity of images is at the center of an endemic malaise and he provides answers with images that are themselves effractions imbued with a malaise. This malaise might be our laughter.
Maurizio Cattelan’s visual aphorisms are exercises in re-routing, hacking a broad database of images deeply embedded in history, culture, belief systems and in our taboos. Sussurro speaks out loudly for those who want, and may not want, to hear.
Produced by the Serralves Foundation – Museum of Contemporary Art Porto, the exhibition is curated by Philippe Vergne, the Museum Director and is coordinated by Giovana Gabriel.
Lee Bros. Value World located at 3848 Castro Valley Blvd. in Castro Valley,CA. The building was later occupied by a Payless Drug Store which until the late 1990's hadnt made and major renovation to the facade of the building. (Unfortunately I didnt get a photograph) The building is currently occupied by a Rite Aid which has not put any effort into both the inside and outside of the store.

I guess curb appeal is important when you're selling a jeep too. Or maybe the owner is just a gardener. This jeep was a quarter mile away from our motel so I got to enjoy it several times over the weekend.
