wait..my grandson is native and is allergic to Poison Oak…will he be a suspect? 😛
kidding aside…no one but natives take bald hill in bad weather 🙁
He’s a bit younger than 30-40 though…
good to know kym thanks 🙂 been a lot of wack-a-doodles out and about sigh
Is it bad to hope they catch him while his face is swollen with poison oak so we can laugh at his mug shot?
Jokes aside I’m glad no one was hurt during this robbery
Can you even catch poison oak this time of year? There’s no leaves on the vine. Perhaps his face is swolen from a beating.
Sure as heck can! The sticks are the worst.
