Sadly this is real. Sadder it happened to the Vernons. Franks blog is surely to be about 10,000 words longer and more full of detail and insanity - but I find significant drama in the brevity displayed here, hopefully I got most of the facts right. The moral of the story - i'm not really sure.

To my dear sweet Vernons, I am sorry this happened to you, it was great to see you despite the circumstances, Frank I'm sorry you had to sleep on the porch even though I think you liked it, Katie I loved splitting the Weekend Special with you at the spoon over a side of the finest cut of bacon. I miss you both!
