First Chimera had to be renamed Camino for legal reasons. Now I see that Phoenix must be renamed, too, also for legal reasons. What gives?
Oh, this reminds me. When I was working for The Roastery, I took a call from a guy who was wondering how long we'd been in business. When I told him, he just sort of sighed, then explained that he owned a shop in Missouri or Montana or somewhere like that, also called The Roastery. He'd been told the company name was unique in the country. "Well, thank you for your time," he said, "now I have to go kick my lawyer's ass."
At least he was good-natured about it.
