That confused look on his face says LOADS!!! He is obviously having a hard time dealing with life in general, from the look on his face at least!!!!
Now how can you determine all that from an obvious DL photo that may be years old? That’s amazing! Okay, show me where on the doll he hurt you.
I’ll show you mine if you show me yours!!! ;op
The Eureka Police Dept. doesn’t seem to know the names of the streets in the town it patrols. There is no Harris Avenue. Harris Street, yes. Harrison Avenue. yes. Harris Avenue does not exist.
just look for the broken down POS!!
it’s that easy!! :):):)
What?
Some real winner comments on here, jeeez. I hope he gets found or makes his way home some how.
I’m with you, KIDDZZ. It is sad that some folks just don’t comprehend that they’re defining themselves by what they say.
Ditto to both you, and the other empathetic comments regarding Chris.
Not to many real nice comments on where the old gentleman might be. I hope that people that are shooting off their mouth will also keep an eye out for him and/or his van. Suffering from dementia is nothing to joke about, and I pray he is located quickly, and is taken home or placed in an adult living center if need be.
He also usually wears a baseball cap or hat.
Hope he’s found ok, sounds like he would be driving, winding old Arcata road
Hope he’s found soon.
Me too.
Kinda reminds me of my grandfather.
My father the same. My brother pulled the distributor cap off the engine so Dad couldn’t drive the vehicle. Dementia is devastating for an elder person. Emotionally my father would cry at a moment’s notice. I would ask him what’s wrong and he always responded, “Nothing”. His brain just didn’t work and it was difficult to see him. There is no medicine or treatment. Sad to think this, but I hope he goes peacefully and soon.
