Elizabeth Murdoch-Jones, HOA president, "I regret to inform you there was yet another break in at the HOA office."
She leans toward a small grove of ficus plants sitting to the right of the podium, "And if anyone is unable to attend, the meetings are livecast at our website."

Murdoch-Jones wins re-election with 2.6 million votes out of 58 eligible voters.

"I have upsetting news: The Suharto City Sanitation Department found a box of human feet abandoned curb-side last Tuesday. As a courtesy, I remind you that Tuesday pickups are for trash and recycling. Lawn clippings, furniture, and biomatter are on the first Friday of every month. This is not a new rule, people, this comes out of your pocket."

The only town in America where every menu is written in Siciliano or Russian. The galubtsi with arancini is pretty good though.

Every grandma in the subdivision has a hidden duffle bag with a spare photo album, spare recipes, and a lifetime of fullfilling memories just in case they have to bug out.

UWBW posted:

Mr Jones and Mr Ivanov live side by side. Each has amassed a sizeable amount of of garden gnomes, yet neither of them actually puts them in their yard for fear of retaliation - they just keep them in their shed. Of course, at the HOA meetings they complain about the amount of garden gnomes the other has ("What if he puts them out?" "If he puts out his gnomes I'm going to put out mine").

Meanwhile, Mr. Castro down the street signs off on yet another massive shipment of gnomes, grinning at the two houses as he does so.

The Santa Committee planning board is safe and unharmed. Historical Santa records are secure and undisturbed. Normal holiday cheer may resume after 2 PM today.

Bill, who is new here, "Thanks for inviting me over for poker guys. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this place, but you know I can't find an accountant. Who do you all use?"

Everyone just laughs, but there's now a gun on the table.

A flock of geese circled over Shady Bridge eyeing the swimming pool with interest.

Crackers Sr. urged the other geese on. You don't fool around on a migration he said. But Crackers Jr. was having none of it. He was still a young goose, but already a swan at heart. No old pigeon was going to tell him what to do.

Crackers Jr. spiraled down down down toward that perfect green lawn, that perfect white tile, that perfect blue pool. He scanned the cul-de-sac with long, lazy glances. Nothing to be worried about. One webbed toe dipped onto the emerald lawn.

He never saw the shooter.

Far above, Crackers Sr. watched his arrogant son explode into a comforter's worth of feathers. There was no time to mourn, he had a flock to tend. Besides, he'd been warned. Everyone knows you don't mess around on a migration.

A pod shaped like a skull streaks through the evening sky and gouges a crater in Mr. McMurty's backyard. Jason, Mr. McMurty's son, emerges from the skull pod wearing a crisp tuxedo and a paisley waistcoat. Jason surveys the damage, shrugs, and enters the garage.

Across the way, Mr. Smith prepares his third letter to the HOA this month.

You drop a kid off at 7 and you get a kid back at 3, but no one guarantees it will be the same kid.
