Town law requires spiffy lawn!

Remind me not to move to Orem, Utah. At some point my lawn had two thirty yard dumpsters, a porta-potty and a small prairie. The Boston Globe has a great odd & ends section. Excerpt below,
OREM, Utah—When 70-year-old Betty Perry was accused of neglecting her lawn, she became defiant.

Perry was arrested, handcuffed and briefly jailed in July for declining a ticket for failing to water her lawn.

She agreed on Friday to resolve her case by pleading guilty to a disorderly conduct charge and paying a $100 fine. She also faces six months of probation.

Perry was scheduled to go to trial Monday on a more serious charge of resisting arrest for refusing to give her name, accept a citation or allow herself to be handcuffed on her front steps.
