Well .... it seems that when Mooky first moved down to Florida, he was
takin a walk down in Fort Meyers. He came to an intersection and there
was this car being driven by another old guy, coming down the street.
Although it's common knowledge to most seasoned Floridians, Mooky,
being new to the area, saw the left hand signal flashing and didn't
realize that most drivers in Florida drive with their signal lights
flashing. Mooky thought the driver was going to turn at the
intersection and stepped out into the street. A witness thought, but
couldn't be positive, that he heard the car accelerate before it hit
Mooky. So actually, the driver was the last person to "run across"
Mookey. The driver said he didn't know he'd hit anyone. He said that
he thought that he'd hit a speed bump and just kept on going.

Ironically, when they finally caught up with the driver, in the course
of the investigation, it was revealed that years before, when the
driver had lived in Pennsylvainia, Mookey had collected payment for
installing an alarm system from him, but ran off with the money.

No one is really sure of how aware of what happened ......  the old
guy is.

Funny how these things work out sometimes ..... eh?
