I’ve been a total slacker lately. I’ve been so busy painting, and gardening, and working, and going to bunko parties, that I’ve neglected to tell y’all about what’s going on in town.
Or around town, as in the case of 76year old Elmer Edde from Lamont. Apparently he’d had enough of his wife last week, so he pulled out a hammer and cracked her in the head. Then he went outside and told the neighbor he needed to go to jail and he’d be waiting on the porch. When sheriffs arrived he was indeed waiting calmly and walked to the patrol with out being handcuffed. Elmer was booked into the Kern County jail last Friday on one count of murder.
Kinda makes me wonder what was the final straw? Was it loosing the remote? Nagging about his hair, his clothes, the toilet seat? Had she told him the same story over and over again for the past 50 years and he finally just snapped?
Whatever it was, I’m sure it was nothing compared to spending the golden years behind bars.
Stumble It!
