(Community Matters) Rude house guests, aka Charles Santos! Sometimes you just don’t know what comes over people. We woke up to this – poor little Chucky hanging from a rope over our pool. What the heck did he do to deserve this? I discreetly tucked him into bed in the guest house so he’d greet and comfort my friends Charles Santos & Rickie Bond when they returned home for the evening. And this is what we wake up to . . . .
