Just a little Donnie story from a few years before we moved here... He had been drinkin' with his only neighbor, Pudder, back in the holler and the two of them got into an argument and next thing ya' know Donnie had burned Pudder's house down to the ground... The fire department came and Donnie was over on the porch of his shack yellin' "I told you that I'd do it"...
Well, the cops came for Donnie but he knows the woods and the mountain real well and they couldn't catch him... Lotta folks in the holler knew Donnie real well and loved him so every time the sheriff's car would be seen coming back in the holler someone would call Donnie and he'd be up in the mountain... Took a couple months for them to finally catch him... In the meanwhile he and Pudder had made up, Pudder got a used trailer with money from the insurance company and the two of them would be drinkin' and arguin just like always... That's a testament to how much folks loved the little guy...
Donnie did 3 years in the state pen for that but when he got out it was right back to being Donnie...
