Well, I'd like to tell you that I just was down at the Board of Zoning Appeals office. I wanted to look at that nice shiny computer that was made in the presentation. Except I wasn't allowed to look at it. I was told I wasn't sure if it worked. Then the lady called Mr. Ribrine or Mr. River and said to send them an email to ask for the stuff, some of which I've asked for before, but I was not allowed to get. Um regarding speed humps. I heard some people talk about speed humps last year. We need to take away take out the speed humps that were put in against members' wishes, like what happened in front of my house. I didn't know what they were doing because so much secretive stuff goes on in my neighborhood. And then Cindy Dara pointed out that when they spray painted the pink line across the street, she goes, Oh, they're gonna put a speed hump in front of your house. I'm like, wait, wait, wait, I don't want that. I don't want that. And then I saw the guy Justin from G S D or whatever, he was there, and he said, Well, talk to your district managers, which I did, and they installed it anyway. And I have a flyer that says we only put speed humps with the consent of the residents. And then I was told, well, if I get a majority of the residents on the block, that's I can pay to remove it. Well, guess what? I was the only full-time resident on the block at the time.
