Open fields dry so much faster than the wooded areas. And then with the high winds that we have been having, when it gets in the grass it just takes off.

The obscenity law is still mired in inconsistency. It simply does not give clear directions as to what is allowed to be sold or not sold to consenting adults.

They obviously listened to our arguments; we just weren't able to convince them that the standard wasn't met on one of the movies.
