Greetings again from the Northeast Kingdom!!
I wanted to share a little story from the news in my new way-up-north home. Life moves pretty slowly here, but when there is news, it really gives people something to talk about.
Recently a local man from my town decided that he was very angry with the police. Now like any person, this man decided to show the police just how angry he was, and did so in true Vermont fashion. He went over to our little police station and drove over and completely flattened, not 1, not 2, but 7 police cars with his tractor!
The funniest part of this story is not the fact that there was a rogue man seeking revenge with his tractor. It is that after the fact, the police did not have any means to chase the man with and were forced to run after the tractor on foot and used hitchhiking pursue him faster. The poor police ran after him and thumbed a ride in order to catch up with him.
The newspapers printed articles the next week saying "Angry Farmer crushes Cop Cars" and "Derby has a new Hero". There was actually a town-wide fundraiser to raise the money to bail him, so beware all. If you are in the Northeast Kingdom, watch out that your car is not squashed in a high speed chase between tractor and running cops.
To have a bit of a laugh...check it out in video...
