				I wonder if his accelerator stuck, or he hit the gas instead of the brake, or what.  The gas instead of brake happens to elderly drivers, whose reflexes and reaction times aren't what they used to be.
I wonder if Stop&Shop will grow outside New England.  My grandmother is buried now in Marshfield.  She had Stop&Shops and CVS in her neighborhood, and Hood Milk in the stores.
Hood specialty products now on store shelves here around Houston, and CVS has moved into Texas in a big way.
I was in the Northeast last June, and drove to Marshfield to visit my grandmother's grave, and then took my wife to Plymouth for lunch on the water, at a lobster place.  It was in the 50s.  As Texan's, we were not ready for that kind of chill when it was almost summer.

				The roumor going around my workplace is tat he committed suicide by purposly driving into the side of the building, before he smashed into the building, he moved the bench that was in the area that he hit accoring to the security cameras, which indicated to the managers that it was premeditated
