962,668 Words

In recent months I've slowed the pace of posts for this blog. There are a number of reasons for this.

1. With 962,668 words published, there is a lot of content on most of the relevant subjects which is already published here. It's very easy to scroll down the list of topics on the right to get to just about every post. 
2. In recent years the HOA has improved the newsletters and many are on the web. So there is no point in duplicating content. 
3. All meetings of the HOA are open to all owners, and that includes the October budget meeting. Budget meetings are now regularly scheduled and discussed during the HOA annual meeting as well as during normal HOA meetings. 
4. As a current member of the HOA board, I am restrained from what I can publish without getting prior board approval. This has had a profound impact on depth and breadth of this blog. 
5. I do have an additional 141 posts which have not been published. Some are placeholder posts which I expand from time to time and which will eventually be published. Others are partially complete. Quite a few were not published because they became irrelevant or I considered them to be too "sensitive" for some readers. 

Comment: 

Just typing at 80 WPM would require over 200 hours to type the content of the published posts. I've also got hundreds of photos, charts and spreadsheet content. Add the research and so on, Writing articles for the HOA newsletter has been a trivial task compared to doing this blog! The difficulty with the newsletter has been getting board members "on board" and to provide articles.
