Col. Mustard, a friend of the lessor, had an airtight alibi, he was moose hunting in Montana. Miss Scarlett, an aspiring but not very talented actress who hustles drinks and old geezers on Friday nights at Katie Belle's, was in Poughkeepsie sleeping with Professor Plum, a Professor of Taxidermy from Texas, when the dastardly deed was done. Mrs. Peacock, Scarlett's mother, and Mrs. White, the cook at El Santiago, were in a pickle ball tournament in Oklawaha when the crime occurred. It was determined that Mr. Green, aka Fumar, at the time of the heist, was still recuperating from his golf car collision with a Sumter County police car while Rocky and the Rollers were performing the Beach Boys "409". The police report says Fumar.....ah..... Green was singing loudly, "Nothing can catch her...Nothing can touch my 409....409, 409, 409, 409...Giddy up 409" just before the crash.

That leaves just one of the usual suspects............It had to be the developer...... in the conservatory.....with the candlestick....a lawyer and a check book.

Yes.....yes.....the developer did it. It's always the developer.

We're going to miss El Santiago for all the reasons already expressed. Our first lunch in the Villages with friends was there. Many more followed.

VERY FUNNY

Anyway, whoever "done it" has caused some hard feelings. Hubby and I went there today for lunch and he ordered (from the menu) Pot Roast Slider. The waitress (quite testily) said, "We don't have that and we've NEVER had that!" so he ordered another selection. I ordered the Cold Lobster Salad Slider. She came out of the kitchen and said, "We don't have the lobster"! I wrinkled my nose in frustration as that is why we went there for lunch and she walked away saying, "It don't matter cause tomorrow is the last day." I had to call her back to the table to change my order. Her attitude did improve by the time we left! Hope THAT is not the reason they are closng!
