This Is Framingham

The only accident I’ve even been in was at this stop sign a few years ago.  It was my fault. The person in front of me started to go and then I looked back at route 9 to make sure it was clear, and it was, so as I turned forward I started to step on the gas only to find the Durango in front of me stopped after initially moving and I rear-ended it at a whopping 1 mile an hour.
I was more than apologetic but this lady was mean and dramatic acting like I came wailing into her at 80mph while drunk, on a cell phone and eating a bag of chips. 
When the police officer got there and was telling her I gave him my insurance info, she looked at me and then at him, put her hand on her hip and said “Oh, you mean she HAS insurance?” I’m not really sure what that was supposed to mean, isn’t it the law to have insurance for MA plate car?  Did I look like some scrub that was trying to drive with an uninsured, MA plate car?
The officer, who was really nice, told me that stop sign is the one of the top places (if not the top) in Framingham for accidents.
This lady got $20,000 for her sore neck (mind you, I was in my little econo car and bumped her towering Dodge Durango) but then tried to get MORE money from my insurance company and that’s when it become known that she was in an identical accident at the SAME exact stop sign a week earlier and got money from that person’s insurance too. 
Hmm…stopping short to get $20,000 is a pretty good plan if you are a total sleazebag.
The insurance companies conducted a stakeout on her and watched her to see if she was really acting like her neck had this much damage or whatever she was claiming.  I’m guessing she was caught because she retracted her demand for more money and went back to the bridge she lives under. Anyway, that’s why it’s on my $#@% list. (even though I know it was my fault)

Every morning I used to run down Dudley Road
as part of my route and I noticed about 7-10 tires just thrown into the woods visible from the sidewalk.
These are just across the street form the yard waste drop-off and a mere few seconds drive down the street to the town recycle plant where people can properly dispose of them for $4 a piece.
After a few months of watching them get rained on, covered in autumn leaves, snowed on and then thawed out again I figured maybe the town should take them away seeing that not only does it look dumb but mosquitoes are known to breed in water-holding tires in the spring.
I have repeatedly contacted the Department of Public Works but I really just get vague emails stating they’re looking into it, they’re trying to find the people who did it (even though the tires have clearly been there for years, half buried in the mud)
After a few weeks, I checked in to see what the status was and I received an email telling me that 14 tires were removed in the same exact location and where are tires I was writing about.
Thinking they must have taken care of the tires, I went down there excited to see a clean area, but all of the tires I wrote about were still half-sunk or resting in the mud.
How could they miss 7-10 tires in the same exact area?  So I told them they were still there and I could show someone where they are if need be but I was told they would look into it because it’s conservation land.  Last I was told, the Conservation Commission (since it’s on their land) is working on legal action against one of the “abutters contributing to the problem”, and a clean up date has not been set.
