Follow-up to quot;Marital Aids Booth at Library Flea Market Inflames Passionsquot; (Oct 26 2004 04:59 GMT) - Follow-up to The Case of the Vibrating Rubber Ducky Sponges and the Library Flea Market, in which an adult novelties business had set up a booth at a library fund raiser held on a church lawn. As reported earlier, the city had to drop its plan to charge Katherine Williams, the business owner, for violating the sexually oriented business ordinance because no police officer saw the booth and none of the other vendors would testify against her. So, now the city has revoked her business license, claiming a zoning violation. The City Attorney says that she needs to rezone her place of business for a sexually oriented business. Since she sells her novelties through home parties, this means she would have to rezone every house where she has a home party. |

An hour of installing, configuring, and making stupid assumptions, which later prove wrong, got me a working Beagle install. It needs Mono, Evolution, and some other smaller items (aside from a working GTK and the usual Gnome suspects, of course, and performs just peachy on my Powerbook running PPC Linux. |
