Weekly Passage from Ol' Man on a Mountain

He stared right at me. "Sherriffs afraid of them too.  I told you they are plum crazy.  She's been in and out of jail; him too.  Last time they got arrested, she fought so hard, nearly tore out a deputy's eye.  Three weeks later, she was back in that trailer.  I don't know why or how, but there she was.  Then she and him got into a fight probably over drugs, and he hit her good; blacked both her eyes.  Know what she did?  Shot him that night while he was sleepin'.  Hurt him real bad.  Then she ups and calls the sheriff herself and charges him with assault and damn -- sorry -- if they don't go and arrest him and take him to a hospital jail.  Him. Him.  Two days later his prize vintage car, '48 chevy, he's been restoring it for years -- that boy's got good hands when he's sober -- burns to a crisp.  She's out braggin to everyone she done it."
