[Elecraft] OT: no CC&Rs and no HOA

[Edward R Cole]

Been a nice summer this year with temps up into the 70's; shirtsleeve 
wx. Sorry the igloo melted better get a tent - really?
Lots of misinformation (myths) about Alaska as a frozen 
wasteland.  So don't move up here - it's uncrowded and too quiet - 
you would not like it - stay in LA, SF, Chicago or NYC.

I should have locked the gate when I arrived 34-years ago :-)
