Celebrating a Birthday; Up Close with the Dunwoody PD

Apparently I wasn't the only one celebrating a monumental birthday this month. Another Springfield resident hit a prodigious number as well, as I found out when I saw the banner above in her yard this morning. Happy Birthday EW!

I got to see the Dunwoody Police Department in action first-hand Thursday evening. I was driving east bound on Meadow Lane Rd. about to cross Ashford Dunwoody when I was rear-ended by a black Volvo SUV. It couldn't have been more than 30 seconds before Lieutenant Oliver Fladrich arrived on the scene. I thought it was pretty much going to be a cut-and-dry situation (it's always the fault of the driver in the rear vehicle), until I heard the young woman driving the SUV tell Lt. Fladrich that it wasn't her fault! I was extremely impressed with Lt. Fladrich's professional demeanor in dealing with the woman, who had somewhat of a Brittany Spears attitude. Hopefully her insurance company will be paying for my bumper to be repainted, sooner than later!

Looks like he is reaching for his gun.

It's a good thing you're a sportscaster...and not a reporter!!! The "play by play" and "color commentary" in your report wouldn't fly in a prestigious, fair-and-balanced publication like...say, The Crier, you know.

We presume that no one was injured, other than your rear bumper?
