The DDD Day 1: Welcome to the Double Dogleg Daily

Introduction

Good Evening and welcome to the Double Dogleg Daily. Writing daily is a goal for 2012, and this daily email newsletter is one way to accomplish that. While the Daily may evolve between now and December 31st, I expect to include an interesting hyperlink and a look at the most recent 24-hour’s news from our hillside. Also, I promise to keep it short, but cannot promise that it will always (or ever) be pithy. I’m just not that interesting.

The History of the Double Dogleg

We have nicknamed our new house the “Double Dogleg.” If you are not an avid golfer, a double dogleg is golf hole that has two bends. For example, it would curve to the right from the teeing ground to the landing area and then curve to the left from there to the green. These are rare and can be challenging. Like a double dogleg golf hole, our driveway turns left and then right as you ascend to the house. We’ll see if the name sticks!

Lately, I’ve wanted to erect a ranch sign over the driveway. However, it does not look like this is permissible per the Peninsula Township Zoning Ordinance. Instead, we can install what is termed a “name plate” sign. The maximum height is four feet and max square footage for the sign is three square feet. So, come summer, when you’re driving E Shore Rd, you can look for the “Double Dogleg” sign and both know it is us and know what it means.

Happy New Year 2012!
