My local courts must be blessed with extraordinay judges. One judge who eats at
Jungle Jim's Cafe - sitting at the counter with the hoi polloi - is
particularly hard headed and common sense oriented. 

Following the precedent set by a colleague in a similar case, Leo dismissed a
lawsuit in which some citizen was suing the local "Nude Gentlemen's Club" for
maintaing an "adult uses" location within 500 feet of residential property,
1500 feet of a church, etc. And there is an ordinance covering such. But, Deja
Vu has been in their current location since the late 1960s - starting as an
X-rated movie house and is "grandfathered".

Apparently Leo asked the "offended" home owner and parent how long he had owned
his house in the neighbourhood. The answer was in the area of 2 1/2 years. So,
the judge, doing the defense's job, continued, asking the plaintiff if he had
checked out the schools, pharmacies, groceries in the are before buying.

Them he asked, how did you miss the prominent signage that you are now
complaining about? 

You did not do due diligence. Case dismissed. 

This all took place before even "opening statements" and took only half an hour
of the court's time.   Bv)=

      Title: Charred Corn W/Richard Clark's Chile Butter
 Categories: Chilies, Vegetables, Cheese
      Yield: 8 servings
 
    1/4 lb Butter
      3 cl Garlic
      2 ts Ground New Mexican chile
      3    Soft chipotle chiles (dried
           - or en adobo)
      8    Ears white or yellow corn;
           - husks intact
      1 c  Mexican crema
      1 c  Finely crumbed queso cotija
 
  From Jacqueline Higuera McMahan.
  
  Combine the butter, garlic, ground chile and chipotles in a
  food processor and blend just to combine. Set aside.
  
  Carefully peel back the corn husks so you don't tear them.
  Remove all of the silk but keep husks intact.
  
  Rub about 3/4 tablespoon of the chile butter over the kernels
  of each ear, then pull up the husks, smoothing them over ears.
  Grill the ears over a medium fire (preferably wood or mesquite)
  for about 15 minutes, turning frequently. The husks will char
  and smoke a bit, lending even more flavor to the corn. Each
  person prepares his or her corn by pulling back the husks,
  drizzling on some crema, and sprinkling on the crumbled queso
  cotija.
  
  * Note: Queso cotija, sold in Mexican markets, comes in small
  firm rounds. It is not a melting cheese but is crumbly. Use
  over tacos, enchiladas, salads, corn and such. It is fairly
  salty so use sparingly. In a pinch, feta may be substituted.
  
  Serves 8
