Jeffrey, <br>
<br>
This old coot doesn't always do any research before running my mouth
but I noticed in Sarah's post of Riverdale Park Laws, Par 42-1 that
"provided, however, that this requirement shall not apply to activities
conducted on behalf of the Riverdale Fire Department, Inc., or for
exclusively religious, charitable, or educational purposes."<br>
<br>
Seems that the Fire Department is excluded by name and as written your
downtrodden priests is also excluded. Those with better memories help
me here but was it last year (or the year before) that the "kids" from
UMCP were out in force in support of some charity? Which may be part of
the problem. How do you tell the difference between a "religious,
charitable, or educational purposes." and other more crass endeavors?
There is an old comedian stick about a guy soliciting for the HFFHB.
When ask, he said it was the "Hamburgers Fund For Homeless Blacks -
That's me". How do you tell the difference?<br>
<br>
"If the town does not want to enforce the yard sale law -" Again
without doing any research of my own, where does that come from? <font

<br>
</font><br>
I know, I know. I tried to convince one of my ex-wived of that too with
no results. But that doesn't mean I didn't try! The wheels of the law
don't necessarily move slowly, but there are lots of steps and it takes
time. The vagaries of the law were designed to protect our civil
liberties. So lets not get our shorts in a twist when those same laws
are protecting the rights of people with front yards.<br>

>From my attic window I notice that there are not that many flower
"vendors" in town. Anyway how do you give a ticket, with meaning, to
someone that doesn't have an address or ID? Given a ticket they have
what, 2 weeks/30
days, to pay the fine. Where do you go to follow up when John Doe
doesn't pay the fine? He doesn't have a name what makes you think he
has a real address? I haven't been taking my meds so I can't figure it
out. But I know this conservative doesn't want to live in a town like
our VA
"neighbors". Not sure that is the type of buzz the town needs. <br>
====<br>
Boy I leave you all alone for a while without a adult supervision and
you yank the old coot's chain by sending TT email directly to him. (I
am available to show you how to use your computer). I gave you Code
Enforcement's phone number but I see no evidence that anyone called and
is reporting back any more facts that the old coot has. Sarah did quote
the law, but no one paid any attention.<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Yorkedial@aol.com"></a>Off
to town meeting to collect information, first hand. Now don't bother
the coot till I get back.(please)<br>
