This is where I get confused about women and men, and I refer you to Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Blinded by the Light’: \*Mama always told me not to look into the eye’s of the sun But mama, that’s where the fun is! \* ESPECIALLY if the friends are in Law Enforcement. Sounds like fun. 😉 😃 ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > People can get in some very big trouble for playing a prank on the police. I just hope that whoever this man is, he can be located safely. Don’t worry he didn’t play a trick on me. He’s as shocked as I am that there is a walker in these backwoods. It’s not normal. We are far away from anything. Not walking distance to anything but my house. And I didn’t know him. His name on his ID was no one we know. Plus he is from Texas according to his DL. According to my son they have a roadblock set up at the state highway crossroads as of an hour ago. But that may have been pre-planned and have nothing to do with the lost man. Yes C.F. means clusterfuck. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > People can get in some very big trouble for playing a prank on the police. I just hope that whoever this man is, he can be located safely. Absolutely, no doubt. The remote possibility I had in mind would be a prankster colluding with police on the prank. I’m in an urban area, so it wouldn’t fly here. I don’t know what happens in remote places. ---

It wouldn’t fly here either. There really was a man walking half naked down the county road near my drive. My son found his clothes and ID on down the road. We haven’t seen the man again. The police made a search. They took a statement from us. Looked in all my out buildings. Theres no prank going on as far as I can tell. Not by us, anyway. ---

How cold does it get at night where you are? Freezing? ---

It will get to 42° overnight. And it’s drizzling rain. If he’s out there somewhere he’s gonna be awful uncomfortable. Maybe he had a cell phone. Signal will be hard to get. If he got to the highway he’ll have had better luck. ---

That’s cold, especially when you’re half-naked. Wet doesn’t help. Exposure/hypothermia is a real possibility. ---

I know they are out on horse this morning looking for the guy. Son-of-a-wrek is down there with the guys and gals. He knows most of them. He’s promised to get me an update if something happens. No word yet. ---

Well, the guy is found. He was in the next county at his friends house. Apparently whoever left him out there came back and got him. It was all about drugs. They were wasted when they drove off without him. My understanding is they got ahold of his family through his DL address and were told where he was staying in Arkansas. He was found there. He was glad to get his wallet back, I suppose. No word on if he saw me or walked by my car. Whew, glad that mystery is solved. I worried all night. ---
