Rick in Mexico's Comments
Irrelevant observation
Not to minimize the wrongdoing here, but I couldn't help noticing:
"...he lived with Sprague for months and helped him with his insulin. She said Sprague needled her until she kicked him out of her home."
Clever.
When captured ...
...the morons who introduce fish like pickerel and shiners into brook-trout waters should be tried, and if/when found guilty, lose their fishing privileges for life and be put to work in deer suits to serve as targets for poachers in DIFW stings.
Fortunately, Little Concord is small enough to be susceptible to Rotenone treatment, but in bigger lakes, the damage done by invasive species may be irreparable.
Reckless driving ...
means not caring that people may be hurt or worse due to one's action or inaction. Texting while driving ought to fall into this category. When I was learning to fly at Twitchell Airport in Turner, my instructors kept hammering at the point: "When you're flying the airplane, FLY THE AIRPLANE." The same point needs to be emphasized in high-school driver-ed courses. Safe driving requires control, which in turn implies single-minded attention. Multitasking (whether it's texting, holding a cell phone, applying makeup or turning your head to talk to a back-seat passenger) is an open door to distraction and possible loss of control.
Lentils, or ...
... lintels?
If the former, it might explain some of the building's problems.
Snarky, pedantic comments
Snarky, pedantic comments ON.
It's Oak Avenue, not Oak Street. Probably the shortest "avenue" in the solar system. And it has no oaks (I should know; I grew up there and spent years searching for a single oak).

He also runs the Department of Redundancy Department.
Snarky, pedantic comments OFF.
This sounds like a good idea, assuming the federal bucks remain available. The alternative would be doing it piecemeal with local funds, and that would take forever. In this case I'd vote to take the federal money and accept the loan terms. Nothing ruins your week faster than a failed sewer line.
There are three or four houses on Oak Avenue, depending on whether the sewer hookup for the Denison-Hathaway House is on Main Street or Oak. The town needs to remember that three of those houses are occupied by older, retired folks, including my mom. They'd better figure out a way to allow access to driveways when the excavation starts.
