I just noticed in my email the following note:

Re: Crime Scene and Campground Thieves by Dear Miss Mermaid
Inappropriate !!!!I will unscribing soon.
In view of the angry red large letters, I sent back a gentle reply:
It was an April Fool's funnery.
I got the idea because my neighbor reported 5 bicycles were stolen at
Wickham Park where I was camping in Florida, then the next place I visited I was
greeted with crime scene tape (3 murders) then when I arrived at Hunting Island, I
met a woman cleaning up broken glass because she had a huge rock thrown through
her driver's window, her wallet stolen, while she parked and hiked with her
daughter at the marsh walk. This island is normally peaceful and tranquil. My
nerves were shot. I wanted to see the humor in all this recent madness.
So I tried to make a funny post for April fool's day on a lighter note. I
think all April foolery could be classified as inappropriate.
Perhaps I should have settled for claiming mermaids aren't real on April
Fool's day, but most everyone knows mermaids exist, so it might have fallen
flat too.

Some people have no sense of humor! I was about halfway through when I thought, wait, what day was this post? When I got to the missing motor home I thought "Oh no! What will they do? -Wait, is this April Fool's post?" You got me even after I thought it might be a joke!! God one!!
