In Orem, Utah, a 70-year-old widow and grandmother was arrested and hauled off to jail for not watering her lawn for the past year. Betty Perry told broadast reporters, "I never thought they would ever do anything like that to a person that is 70 years old. I've never bothered anybody, I've never hurt anybody." I'd be more sympathetic except I have a neighbor at the entrance to our block off 15 Street that has allowed knapweed to grow in the public right of way alongside his house. It's a lousy entrance to our stretch of homes. You can read about the Utah case here.

Question: Do you have a neighbor who has let his yard go to weeds or dead grass?
