People talk

People like to talk.

Talk about things they really know nothing about.

Today I'm reminded of something of my youth.

Newnan,Georgia late 1960's I was riding in Daddy's 64 Oldsmobile and this is what I seen.

A old mud covered car on the back of a rollback wrecker escorted by Coweta County sheriff cars.They all pulled into the Coweta County stockade.

A little background information.

A few years before a man disappeared.Without a trace he was just gone.Vanished as if the Earth had opened up and swallowed him.

People being the way they are started talking.This and that so on and so on.Some had sworn he had ran off with another woman and in fact they been seen together after he had disappeared.

Heard someone say they had seen this just a few days before .

That car I mentioned in the beginning you probably guessed was the missing man him still inside .His skeleton anyway.

Seems on his way to work he drove into a pond and sunk.

A man fishing years later after the fact noticed the radio aerial of the car sticking out of the pond and the rest is history.

Moral of story.

Unless you see it with your own eyes don't treat what you hear as the gospel truth.
