We thought it was a one time deal until he came back about a week later. This last video is almost like the first. He was down on the ground and suddenly decided to go back up and check things out.
We had been waiting for the Conservation Commission agent to come back out for the final inspection. This, of course, was caught on camera too. About 30 minutes after he left, the snow on the PV solar panels let loose all at once.
Then last Saturday night there was a big procession out front. Just after dark, there were three police cars with their lights flashing but no sirens, followed by a black sedan, a black van and then a bus, followed by another police car. It turns out it was Sargent Shriver's burial procession. His funeral was in Maryland earlier in the day and he's buried in St. Francis Xavier Cemetery, which is just up the street. Here's the link.
