Newsletter 2008 excerpt is an example of earlier board willingness to communicate with owners.
The boards of 2019-2021 prefer not to do so.

Cold Weather Condo Living
Well, this morning it was darn chilly outside. Nary a squirrel in sight. I kicked the thermostat up to 72F to get the condo well heated. Of course, with the predicted cold the kitchen cabinet under the sink was left open to allow heat to enter. That sink is on an outside wall and this is one of the winter tips which the association provides to residents each year. It's prudent to read those tips and use them.
I've never had a pipe freezing issue, and the temperature in my condo is normally set at 68F. So I guess I'm doing something right.
This morning after I shoveled around my car, one of the neighbors offered to help me. I declined but perhaps next time. We only got about 2 inches of light snow last night and I had very little to shovel this morning. Several days ago I scraped a good portion of the driveway and salted the drive and entrance. We had freezing rain followed by a dip in temperatures and about 1/2 inch of snow.
Not much so far this year.
Breakfast and a Walk
We decided to go to the Park District indoor track to get a good walk/jog in this morning. I snapped the morning photo on the masthead while the coffee was brewing. I was up making a breakfast of Farina and a pot of coffee for me and ginger tea (fresh ginger) for G. Then we were off to the track. Life is good.
Just for chuckles, here is the current 10-day weather forecast from Weatherunderground.
