While driving down to the mailbox
just now there was a Town truck blocking the very narrow road. Not only was the
truck large and taking over the whole road, but it also had equipment sticking
out on both sides (blowing leaves I think - not grading the road as it needs.)
There are ditches (made worse by the Town each year) on either side of the road
so I could only sit and wait for the truck to move. A few minutes later (after
getting my mail) I had to do the same thing all over again. While I understand
the Town has to work on the roads and most – especially the dirt, mountain ones
by me – are narrow the Town could at least give some warning on their Facebook page or the Town’s Website
to give us a heads-up. Several years ago I once suggested that to the Town Road
Agent and he told me it would require hiring a new person (not sure why a 2
minute posting on a website requires someone full-time, but that’s how they
think up here.) I guess that “logic”
follows the Town Police (who are only part-time) who once told me they couldn’t
do anything about an incident unless the person did it several times to
establish a pattern and yet when I asked to make the first report – so that
there would be a written record for any future cases they did not want to (even
when I tried to explain you can’t prove a 2nd, 3rd, etc.
time if you haven’t established a 1st time.) Hopefully, the town won't be doing anything
tomorrow when I have to take my dog to the vet.
