Simply amazing. Is there anything the Internet doesn’t know? I was just browsing that pinnacle of wisdom, Facebook, when I ran across a friend’s post saying that “you know you’re in Texas when” the temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly or when hot water comes out of both spigots or when you can make sun tea in seven seconds. Yes, indeed. It’s a Texas summer when you have to steer your car with two fingers and your seat belt buckle is a seriously potent branding iron.
It’s even been rumored that some golfers witnessed birds using potholders to pull worms out of the ground. And admit it. You know you’ve parked a quarter mile away and sweated your way across some parking lot just so you could leave your car in some shade. Yessiree, it’s summer in Texas. Don’t know about you but, toasty or not, I’m happy, happy, happy to be here. There’s a lot to like about Texas. And Bentwater.
Somewhat different context, but you’ve heard that motivational chastisement telling us that if we can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, right? Well, I don’t know why anyone would since it’s not as hot in the kitchen as it is outside right now. Plus, it just ain’t cool to stand outside and complain about what’s going on in the kitchen. Still, some do. The Property Owners Association (POA) runs pretty smoothly most times and its Board does an admirable job of managing how things work here in our little bubble of life. So, personally, I don’t understand those few folks who spend way too much time chirping online about how they don’t like this or think that should be different. But, good news. They have a chance to do something about it by jumping into the kitchen and fixing those things themselves.
You see, the POA has a five (5) member Board of Trustees and there’s an election coming up to fill the seats for two of them whose terms are ending. Now, remember that all on the Board are volunteers as well as your neighbors. No salary, no benefits and no special consideration. Every penny spent by the POA is their money, too, because they pay the same assessments as everyone else. Moreover, they’re bound by the same CC&Rs, not their personal opinions or pet peeves. So, not intending to curb anyone’s enthusiasm, all aspiring candidates might want to maybe review their CC&Rs to be sure they understand what’s required to “fix” things. Any little bitty thing. Still, there’s plenty of room in the ring for more hats so, by all means, toss yours in. Just be sure you do before noon on the 23rd.
