Life in a small town or...

...thank God it's only this sort of thing.

From this morning's police blotter:

7:55 a.m. – A homeowner on Orienta Avenue came outside to find a strange man curled up sleeping on his porch. Police arrived to take the man home to his own bed.


And we wonder why our taxes are preposterous?

3:20 p.m. – A snapping turtle who lost it’s way was discovered on a boat ramp at Harbor Island Park. Although a local trapper was unable to transport the animal, police kept watch until the turtle eventually found it’s way back into the water.

Who said we're having a recession or depression?

8:01 p.m. – A person driving a 2008 Land Rover and backing out of a spot in front of 322 Mamaroneck Ave., struck a 2006 Porsche that was stuck in traffic. The person driving the Land Rover left the scene; there were no injuries.

Well, perhaps we are. Older model vehicles.

And what about this: 6:05 p.m. – An ambulance driver struck a stone wall on Greacen Point Road when he made a sharp right turn out of a driveway. The right side of the ambulance and a side mirror were damaged.

This road near me has a home on the Market for 13 million usd. No joke.
