This morning Art Weather’s truck was sited traveling down Rt. 50 pulling a low-boy trailer with a backhoe.  As soon as word of this reached town, the Green Committee called an emergency meeting.  Following that, Mandy Henderson called me at the Post.  “We’ve scheduled a march on Walden Pond for this afternoon at 4:00.  You are the only media outlet in town, so you’d better be there.  We’re going to stop that nut from destroying the beaver dam.  This morning you heard Art Weathers threaten me, so if he pulls his gun out there, you will be there to record it for the public.”

I had planned to focus on other things today, like the Senate Committee vote on the Health Care Bill, but this event is too good to miss.  Stay tuned.
