Exterior Walls
From Kay Bonham, Architectural Control Chair
Over the next few months you will see contractor extraordinaire Miguel Lopez cleaning, repairing and repainting our community area walls. This is a good reminder to all of us to check the condition of our exterior walls, especially those visible from all walkways and streets such as Esperanza Blvd. The condition and paint on our walls reflect on our neighborhood. Remember that your walls are required to be the same color as your house. You can find your approved house color by visiting www.esperanzaestates.net, then click on Forms & Documents, then House Paint Colors & Complying with the CC&RS. Thanks, everyone, for doing your part in keeping our neighborhood a sought after location.

Trash Collection
From Dave Sielken, EEHOA Board President
We have surveyed the local trash providers to see if there are any new options or opportunities for Esperanza Estates to take advantage of. Unfortunately, there is really nothing new. The three providers are the same: Waste Management, Republic, and Titan Trash. Their service offerings are as follows:
Waste Management (800-796-9696)
Two 96 gal wheeled containers are provided, one each for recycle and trash. Curbside pick up is provided on separate days. I did not get a clear answer as to the pick up schedule.
Republic (520-745-8820)
Two 96 gal wheeled containers are provided, one each for recycle and trash. Curbside pick up is provided on the same day - Thursday.
Titan Trash (520-382-1009)
In this case, the customer is required to provide the containers which can be of any size which can be a convenience if volume is small. Curbside pick up is on separate days - recycle on Wednesday and trash on Thursday.
Quotations will have to be obtained directly by the user as there are variable terms and timing conditions. We could not find acceptable/fair/doable rates for the HOA as a whole. The basic reason is that we would have to make one supplier exclusive, and every home would be charged the same annual rate which would be added to the annual dues regardless of usage periods. The provider would bill the HOA directly.
So nothing new is available from when we researched this in the past. If you have any questions it would be best to contact the providers directly.

Jane Ellingson, our EE neighbor who moved with husband, Eric, to Peterborough, New Hampshire, wants to share a message:
"Thank you to all the people who 'bombed' me with lovely Happy Birthday wishes. It was wonderful! I loved it!"
The Ellingsons are hoping to be in Green Valley this fall for a visit.

A Course in "Burma Shave"
Thanks Neighbor Larry Ogren
Those of us whose parents took us on road trips before the interstate system will appreciate this little bit of history. I used to love seeing these Burma Shave sayings! They sold the company in 1963 and the signs came down. . .
A man, a miss,
A car, a curve.
He kissed the miss,
And missed the curve.
Burma Shave
I'm sure that Burma Shave actually saved some lives. People laughed and they were more careful! It was a REAL "service" to America, even though it was an advertisement -- and it was one of the RARE "really useful" ones!
To My Old-As-Dirt Friends and Relatives who qualify as "old as dirt." -- And, for those who never saw any of the Burma Shave signs, here is a quick lesson in our history of the 1930's and '40's. Before there were interstates when everyone drove the old 2 lane roads, Burma Shave signs would be posted all over the countryside in farmers' fields.
They were small red signs with white letters. Five signs, about 100 feet apart, each containing 1 line of a 4 line couplet and the obligatory 5th sign advertising Burma Shave, a popular shaving cream.
DON'T STICK YOUR ELBOW
OUT SO FAR
IT MAY GO HOME
IN ANOTHER CAR.
Burma Shave
DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD TO GAIN A MINUTE
YOU NEED YOUR HEAD
YOUR BRAINS ARE IN IT.
Burma Shave
DROVE TOO LONG
DRIVER SNOOZING
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
IS NOT AMUSING.
CAUTIOUS RIDER TO HER RECKLESS DEAR
LET'S HAVE LESS BULL
AND A LITTLE MORE STEER.
Burma Shave
A GUY WHO DRIVES A CAR WIDE OPEN
IS NOT THINKIN'
HE'S JUST HOPING
Burma Shave
BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL EYES ON THE ROAD
THAT'S THE SKILLFUL
DRIVER'S CODE.
Burma Shave
PASSING SCHOOL ZONE TAKE IT SLOW
LET OUR LITTLE
SHAVERS GROW.
Burma Shave
Do these bring back any old memories?
