Gazette: " Picture this: You're cruising down Connecticut Avenue, admiring the foliage flanked homes of Chevy Chase Village, when out of the corner of your eye you see a flash that could have come from only one source. A speed camera.  But you weren't speeding! A squirrel must have leapt through the air as you passed; the white plop of goo that pigeon had intended for your windshield must have been off target and torpedoed right in front of the camera, tripping the radar and setting you up for a $40 fine!"

DOG PARKS COMING TO PRINCE WILLIAM

MINNIE MOUSE BUSTED
