Dolly and dollars

Jeremy Morris won his four-year fight with his homeowners association over his Christmas display after a jury ruled he was facing religious discrimination. Despite the jury verdict, the northern Idaho man says this will be the second year in a row he’s canceling his Christmas setup, while he goes searching for a new house in a location where his live camel named Dolly won’t run afoul of HOA rules.

Renting one humpers to living Nativity scenes helps to keep exotic animal farmers in business. Sayyid Bashir once asked me about Australian feral camel round-ups as a business proposition but I never thought to tell him about this better idea, even in the cold of winter. Earning $100 a day for dressing as a Wise Man would have seemed like easy money, America being in his mind a land of milk and honey, but not a place to let the HOA come between you and your camel.
