Look, lots of rules are important and we need them so there isn’t chaos, but a lot of rules are made by people who just want to be jerks. Or they just aren’t fun and need to be broken sometimes.

Sweet, sweet victory.
1. Celebrating pride despite our HOA not allowing Pride Flags. They don’t regulate yard lights though, so…There’s always a loophole!
