  4. Just at the top of the little hill above Crocker Farm school (heading North) and almost directly across from Shays Street.

    The lone police officer seemed pretty busy so I did not burden her with the "who, what, when, where, why?" routine.

  6. And what exactly is a "reporter"? Are they licensed by the state or Feds? Are there certain educational requirements?

  7. You are not a reporter. You are a published journalist!

    I would hope that the operator of that vehicle would get some obviously needed instruction on how to steer their automobile withing the travel lane. Their driving skill is appalling!

    I hope the driver was cited, unless of course it is not a crime in your neck of the woods to drive out of the travel lane of the highway and damage private property.

  8. You are a blogger with a cub reporter complex.

  11. And as a seasoned old fart, I can get away with a lot more than a Collegian reporter.
