Fallen Weymouth Police Officer Michael Davey's brothers honored him with a walk-by that began at the Weymouth High School and proceeded down Park Avenue and onto Route 18 to the McDonald Funeral Home. Route 18 was completely closed down while Policeman from all over Massachusetts paid their respects to the young father of three that was killed in the line of duty.

I've been blogging for a few months now and although I try to keep the subject matter centered around the Town Of Weymouth, I have found myself opining about other subjects as well. The subject of driving a motor vehicle and the surprisingly controversial complications that come with it keeps appearing in the news headlines. Not too long ago, I commented on the issue of driving while using a cell phone and elderly drivers. Now it appears that bad driving habits have struck close to home.

The Wahey circuit has been slow lately mostly due to local government taking time off for the summer. We usually stay away from the national picture unless it has to due with things that specifically affect us. One of our conservative friends, who likes to keep us informed, and enlighten Mr. Left, recently sent us a link regarding a story out of Tennessee. No matter how you feel about the death penalty or racial equality when you click on the links I'm sure it will make you bristle and either strengthen or cause reconsideration of your views. We'll let you be the judge.

As summer winds down and youth sports leagues close out their seasons, sports pages for the local newspapers will have more than a few “feel-good” stories and pictures of children and their “successful” teams. Coaches will issue the standard quotes of how the “win” wasn’t as important as having fun and how teaching good sportsmanship is the ultimate goal, and all the kids will be huddled together smiling with their trophies. And of course, there are the parents, beaming over their child’s achievement, telling all who will listen how hard work and perseverance paid off.

We here in Wahey-land have been critical in the past of the no tolerance approach that many take to curb underage alcohol and drug use. Most recently the School Committee in Weymouth voted to maintain a strict policy aimed at students caught with alcohol in lieu of a more lenient rule that was suggested by the high school principle, among others.

With all the talk lately focused on elderly drivers, we can always count on a couple of "Masshole" teenage drivers to remind us that their age group is still the most dangerous when behind the wheel. Take these two misfits, who not only caused tremendous injuries to themselves and their innocent victims, but now intend to sue. Of course, in Massachusetts, the way insurance works is, you must sue anyone and everyone until you recover enough money.
