In the news last night was the announcement that a proposal will be made
to the state legislature that a law be created to make non-mowing of lawns
illegal. Non-compliance will result in forced mowing by state-designated
service (minimum of around $150/lawn). Non-payment by homeowner for this
service will result in a lien for the amount of the bill being placed on
the property.

G. Gordon Liddy said today on his AM talk show that the next time "the
demonstrators" show up "in town" (WTO demos in DC) "they" ought to get
out portable water cannons and "wash them into the gutters where they
belong" and "keep on going".
