   You guys will love this. Gumby turned himself into police yesterday stating it wasn't a robbery attempt but just a silly prank. The funny part is that the Seven Eleven store where it took place is very near my house and the kid turning himself in is a resident of our community. I gues Gumby was closer to me than I realized! We are talking within blocks of my house.

   So Sandy,
   
   Now that you're officially off the hook you can go back and relax at casino. My wife got the monthly plea in the mail yesterday for her to come down and make a donation to your employer. It must be time to start working on the staff Christmas bonuses already!!! Would love to come down that way soon but right now the $10 enticement still has me thinking the free rooms in Las Vegas, Reno or Tahoe make more sense. Not sure any of those places will come close to San Diego weather in the winter though!!
   
   Still trying to figure out what really made "Gumby" turn himself in. Did he leave Gumby prints or what??

   "It wasn't me." "He lived in my neighborhood, too." "Turns out it was just a prank."
   "It's just a coincidence he was about my size."
   
   Likely story.

   Come on Pete, I told you someone swiped my Gumby suit! I saw the store video on one of our local newscasts. Gumby dropped change on the floor and was trying to pick it up with his Gumby hands. He was buying smokes. I didn't know Gumby or Pokey smoked! Two of Gumby's friends were interviewed on the news. They both said Gumby is a cool guy but sort of goofey.

   In support of Pete's continuing questions, now his friends are saying he was Goofy!! Sandy perhaps you do know more than you are telling us about all of this. I'm forced to ask, where was Donald Duck when all of this was going on??

   I hope you guys are both going to the GIS in Las Vegas. I am going to get my stolen Gumby suit back and tour the trade show in full Gumby attire. I have to figure out some way to get Pokey on the plane. I don't think he wants to gallop 350 miles to the convention center. I will specifically look for you two guys and hang around you the entire time!
