Law and the garden

If the posting on this blog gets a little peripatetic, please direct your complaints to the proprietrix...I've recently started posting on a new legal weblog (link way down below, at the end of the right sidebar), which I commend to you as a sleep remedy (er, the reading, that is...not the posting, which is tending to have the opposite effect). (Another sleep remedy, according to John Festus Adams in The Epicurean Gardener [pub. info here], is using a pillow filled with hops. I can't wait to try this with the fruits of my Humulus lupulus 'Bianca'.) In the course of my dayjob-lawblog travels today, I learned that the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has recently ruled that a disgruntled customer of a landscape company had the right to air her complaints on a website she created using the company's name for the domain name. This case comes via The Trademark Blog, in a post entitled "Making a Mountain Out of a Swale", and which links to Dave's Garden for the definition of "swale" for all those lawyer types who don't know what one is.

I notice that your legal blog is using Moveable Type instead of Typepad, albeit sans comments. It looks like a good way to extend your professional reach, but I confess it never occurred to me that anyone could find commercial leasing fascinating.:) However, I have been getting a lot of enjoyment helping my widowed neighbor learn how to use Quicken, and I bet a lot of people would scarcely find that fascinating.

Truth be told, not a lot of lawyers find commercial leasing fascinating either...I guess I'm funny that way ;D . Much to my relief, working in Typepad with this blog has been great preparation for working in the new one in Movable Type.
