Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Pics 1 and 2. I should have included the row of dead Oleanders along the street at the corner.

It's not what you would expect in a newish hood like this from a maintenance viewpoint.

In my area, new-ish hoods have an HOA that does all the mowing. Not so there?

Less polished, as one might expect from an amateur group that plays once a week rather than full time.

I hope you're talking about a tree stump. Anything else is too horrible to contemplate.
