Here's a look at what people are discussing and debating on Patch. Feel free to jump into the conversation and lend your opinion.

:

• "Yes rest in peace Colleen and Jemma. Sweet girl and sweet dog. My prayers are with her family who will miss her beautiful smile."
• "Passed her many times while running at the lake, occasionally stopping to pet that beautiful little dog. I will miss seeing them at the lake."
• "So sad and tragic... my heart goes out to her family and friends."

On what readers do if a Nyack muni-meter is broken:

• "Hike your cold self to one that works. Ugh..."
• "Leave the dollar on your windshield. :-)"
• "Park somewhere else."
• "Most recently I got a ticket as I was at the muni-meter getting my parking slip. When i chased the meter guy down he told me he hadn't seen me. When I reminded him that I had smiled at him as he had passed me, he told me 'I didn't know where you were going.' So now I use the old ticket method. I figure they owe me."

:

• "Extremely similar accident happened to my family on [9W] last night. Three car accident; a guy came on us, driving on the wrong side of the road. The road was too narrow for much to be done for us to avoid him. Our car flew in the air and flipped a couple of times, settling on another road (accident happened near a fork) sideways."
