Wasn't there some kind of relationship between Magnum and Carol Burnett? They both lived in HI at the time of his killer series. I very well could be wrong. I lived in CA at the time of this gossip.

He's still danged gorgeous.

I don't remember hearing that, Miss Slip. I seem to remember hearing they were buddies but not that it was more than that.

I don't remember hearing that gossip either-were they supposed to be having an affair?

Last evening while I was grilling burgers for supper I saw a deputy's patrol truck, charles manson eyes' truck and another vehicle parked up the road at the loon's house, but I didn't see her car. I recognized the third vehicle as belonging to a male friend of hers who rescues (enables) her all the time when she screws up, so I suppose she laid low at his house while he went over there to return charles manson eyes' stuff-I'm sure that after her bizzare behavior the past two weekends she must have had some inkling that her son and some neighbors hoped to see her in the funny farm for awhile, so she made herself scarce. My neighbor and I walked by the house just before dark to see if her son was there and needed anything, but the lights were off and no one was home, and hubby called when he passed by there this morning and said her beemer was not there-I hope she has fled for awhile, but I'm sure we couldn't be that fortunate...
