"Never kick a cow turd on a hot day"

Hank Williams jr. said this was quoted by Pres. Truman in the rose garden in 1948 while he was trying to regroup after his idiotic rant on Fox & friends. I realize that Hank is an intelluctual but before Pres. Truman, Will Rogers said "Never kick a cow chip on a hot day"

This picture is of the cabbage palms on the dunes of Windward East. Cabbage Palms are not protected by anyone but if properly trimmed they can look like the next picture. Now I understand that this only affects the 7 1st floor owners but Windward East has one of the best associations on the beach and the dune line should reflect that in being well maintained.

These are well trimmed cabbage palms but they won't grow this tall unless trimmed.

These are the Seagrapes, with a permit they can be trimmed down to 6' from the ground line from which they grow not the sod line. These are beautiful plants when properly trimmed.

Finally this is one of 2 Brazilian Pepper trees that we have in our dunes. This plant is not indigenous to our state and groups have taken them out where they can, the problem is they choke out all other plants around them to expand. They have to be dug up and not cut down. I am not complaining I am just 1 of the 7. Windward East does have one of the best associations and have spent a lot of money on landscaping but the dune line is one of the most valuable assets for property values and the envirionment.

Alright that is out of my system! Windward East 604 was briefly under contract but is now back on the market. It is a shame that when the buyers went back to the unit after that huge rain storm this past weekend, there was a leak from the upstairs unit and we think they got worried. This happens in a condo.

2100 Towers foreclosure on the 1st floor closed a couple of days ago. This unit has 1600 sq. ft. and 2 bedrooms 2 baths. Listed at $149,000 and sold for $130,000.

Thanks for letting Hank and I rant!
