		<description><![CDATA[After 6.752 hours of searching the web I FINALLY found the Chipotle Burrito Commercial MP3 Denise was talking about all day today. OK, maybe it wasn't 6.752 hours and close to 6.752 minutes but it has been found.

You have to listen to it for yourself. For those of you looking for it you can now get it from my site!

		<description><![CDATA[a new day ... a new cause

This morning I awakened to Denise jumping on the bed with a handful of mail. Now it was about 10:30 and I had slept soundly since 1 o'clock that morning but it was definitely time for me to get up. As I began to regain consciousness she began stuffing pieces of mail in my face. Excitedly she handed me a letter from Howard Johnson International.

It turned out to be a check for $40.00 in response to my complaint about the cleanliness and amenities (or lack thereof) at their Middletown, NY location. I was like "cool, today is going to be a good day". Gotta love it when you get money in the mail :-).

I rifled through the rest of the junkmail and letters, only half-awake at this point. After going through about 6-8 letters I happened upon a letter from our Homeowner's Association. Normally these things are notices about community events, reminders about covenants, etc. Much to my chagrin I was greeted with the following letter:

<a href="http://www.christhornberry.com/weblog/index.php?q=node/373"><img src="http://www.christhornberry.com/weblog/files/images/bentwood_hoa_2006_07_25.thumbnail.JPG" target="_blank"/></a>

Here is a link to the <a href="http://www.christhornberry.com/weblog/files/pdfs/bentwood_2006-07-29_hoa_letter.PDF" target="_blank">PDF</a> version of the document.

I'll pause a few moments while you read.

Yeah, that's what I said!!!! What and who in the heck do they think they are?

Basically if you translate it back to our native language English (no, it is not Spanish) and remove all of the B.S. it says:

<hr />


<table border="0">
<tr>
<td width="15">&#160;</td>

<code>
Dear Bentwood Homeowner,
</code>
<code>
Due to the fact we are unable to make CP Morgan do what they promised and a majority of your neighbors have yet to pay their fair share we're out of money. We have known about this for a while and now are in dire straits and need your help. We thought about it and devised a scheme that we should make a plea for money so that you can make up the slack for your neighbors. Please pay this second installment or we will consider you as more scum than your fellow neighbors that now owe $300 instead of the $150 they should have paid in the first place.
</code>
<code>
Please don't be upset and get mad at us. We just want your money.
</code>
<code>
Thanks,</code>
<code>Bentwood H.O.A.
</code>

</td>
</tr>

<hr />

As you may imagine I have a couple of issues with it and I am not going to take this sitting down.

More to come so stay tuned!]]></description>
