Well the skuttlebut is that Michael Burham somehow knew that the house next to ours is an apartment building which is accessible from the street. He is said to have entered the building's laundry room to find clothes and was able to get out of his prison garb. Supposedly, when he escaped through a metal grated covering of the exercise area (using a pull up rack to reach it), he made a rope from bedsheets, climbed down as far as he could, jumping down in front of the glass doors of the prison entrance. Also, supposedly, when he hit the ground, he got up limping.
We are being told he is still in the area. The focus was on Clarendon this morning and right now they believe he is hiding in the Oakland cemetery.
Driving my granddaughter to camp this morning, she told me a joke.
"Knock knock!"
"Who's there?"
"Interrupting baby!"
"Inter..."
"WAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The finest of your forces, in spite of huge resources being chucked at it, don't seem terribly good at tracking down one person in a defined area. I guess they will get there.
ReplyDeleteIf a dad could make screaming baby noise, it could be classed as a dad joke.
I suspect she got that from her dad.
DeleteWhat an odd ongoing saga. I wonder how much the guy is enjoying his freedom?
ReplyDeleteI just have a vision of a very bad man sitting in the woods laughing at all the hoopla.
DeleteWe have that joke except it's interrupting cow. Interrupting wh-? Moooo! I hope that you and your neighbours are able to feel safe soon.
ReplyDeleteI was further treated to interrupting cows, dogs, cats, and roosters. I suspect interrupting babies came about when a baby sister was having a bad day.
DeleteGoodness, I bet some security guards are in trouble at the prison for letting him get out! How bizarre!
ReplyDeleteYou will be pleased to know that they have thoroughly investigated themselves and have determined that they are not at fault.😒
DeleteThis guy is quite the escape artist. They finally run out of time as they are low on food and other necessities.
ReplyDeleteHe is a survivalist, supposedly quite skilled at living off the land.
DeleteWell, don't sit a newly baked pie in the window sill to cool, or the bad guy might stop by your house. Hope they catch him soon. Aren't there any bears around that could eat him? Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteNot around here. Ours are pretty docile.
DeleteThis whole thing reminds me of Eric Rudolph, the survivalist who eluded police in the Carolinas for so long. Remember that case? They did eventually catch him.
ReplyDeleteThey will probably catch him too, but this is just crazy, running around chasing 'leads'.
DeleteAfter he jumped, did he shout, "Sic semper tyrannis!" before limping away?
ReplyDeleteThe quote I heard was 'freeeeeeedommm'!
DeleteKnock knock jokes keep on going!
ReplyDeleteYes they do. One or two of them are even funny.
DeleteLoved the joke and hoping that they find him soon to give you and others some peace of mind. Take care, Debby.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the milestone celebration.
DeleteSuch a bizarre situation! I imagine the police feel incredibly frustrated and probably somewhat embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they do and I'm also sure they should.
DeleteHoly smokes! That is craaazy! Had to stop by to see what's going on. Am fighting vertigo right now. sigh... supposed to stay off of screens. SIGH...
ReplyDeleteAh gees, Kay! You are having an AWFUL time with this. I have lost track of blogs this past week. Are you still in Japan?
