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.

Great post.

Hilarious. When is the book coming out?
