| albert, so glad you've told us about this. In the letters to the editor is a link to a petition that can be signed, along with a link to a Facebook page that I've added on my Facebook page. This is Oak Park, MI all over again. Julie in Oak Park won her case. I beieve that this math teacher can also. As of this morning, the article is the most commented upon in this Memphis newspaper! I'll review the comments. Almost all, maybe all, are supportive of Mr. Guerrero. |

| This in my email box from Kitchen Gardeners International Breaking News: Adam Gets to Keep His Front Yard Garden! PS: And please remember what your mom taught you: be sure to say thank you. After receiving so many emails from KGI members this week with "Save Adama's Garden" in the subject header, Judge Potter would probably be quite happy to receive a few with "Thank You." You can send them here: larry.potter@shelbycountytn.gov |

| That's cool about the Community Garden. I'm still sad that they are spinning this like gardens are under attack, tho. I guess that nuisance law doesn't sell subscriptions. Dan |
