THE CATFISH MAILBOX
 
 
      If you drive by our lot you will notice that on December 13. 2005, we installed a temporary catfish mailbox  that I bought as a joke back when I received an anonymous letter from one of the neighbors (see the July 10 Anonymous Letter). Based on the November 25 response I received from the HOA Board to my November 14 inquiry about the neighborhood standard for mailboxes, I thought it fitting to install the catfish until the issue regarding the mailbox is resolved.
 
        My thanks to the HOA's counsel for attaching a picture of the catfish as Exhibit 1 to Plaintiff's Brief in Support of its Motion for Injunction that I received on January 11, 2006, since we never got a picture of it ourselves.  It was wearing reindeer antlers over the Christmas holiday and it looked even better wearing the Santa Claus hat.  We know the catfish will be going one of these days, and we will miss him.  The neighbors who have commented to us about him say they understand the joke.  Unfortunately, the HOA Board members do not have a sense of humor.
