 THE MYSTERY ON PELICAN POINTE DRIVE. 

A CONUNDRUM WITHIN A PUZZLE.

THE RENOWNED SHERLOCK McARTHUR ASSISTED BY HIS FAITHFUL COMPANION, DOCTOR ROBERT CARR, WERE RUNG UP LATE ON A DARK AND FOGGY NIGHT BY A FRIGHTENED RESIDENT OF THE HEAVILY PROTECTED AND GATED COMMUNITY

LOCATED AT THE FAR EAST END OF THE NOTORIOUS BARBER STREET.

DUE TO SOME STRANGE AND VIRTUALLY UNFATHOMABLE PHENOMENON THESE EXCEPTIONALLY CLEVER SLEUTHS WERE NOT ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF WATER FLOWING VIGOROUSLY FROM THE ELECTRIC OUTLET IN A

DARK GRAY BUILDING ON THE DIMLY LIT DRIVE NAMED AFTER A BIRD WHICH IS UNKNOWN IN THE ARCTIC AS WELL AS IN ANTARCTICA.  AFTER THE TWO WORLD FAMOUS DETECTIVES HAD THE WATER SERVICE TO THE BUILDING COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, THEY AND THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NEARBY UTILITY SERVICE COMPANY, WERE ASTONISHED THAT THE VIRTUAL NIAGARA FALLS GUSHING FROM THE ELECTRICAL SOCKET BOX WAS VISIBLY UNDIMINISHED.

DOCTOR WATSON RECALLED A CASE IN THE OUTBACK OF AUSTRALIA INVOLVING A STRANGE LOOKING MYSTICAL CREATURE DESCRIBED BY THE ABORIGINES WHICH WAS CALLED A BUNYIP, (<--LEFT CLICK FOR MORE INFORMATION)  WHICH WAS UNKNOWN TO THE RESIDENTS AND UTILITY SERVICE MAN IN THIS QUAINT EASTERN FLORIDA FISHING VILLAGE ON THE ESTUARY, CALLED THE INDIAN RIVER.  THE BUNYIP WAS REPUTED BY FOLKLORE TO HAVE AN INSATIABLE CRAVING FOR ELECTRICALLY CHARGED WATER

( THE PREDECESSOR TO CHAMPAGNE.) 

PUTTING THIS NEWLY REVEALED ESOTERIC BACKGROUND INFORMATION GLEANED FROM THE SCORCHING DUST BLOWN BUSH COUNTRY OF INTERIOR AUSTRALIA, SHERLOCK McARTHUR OPINED THAT A CRAZED BUNYIP HAD EMERGED FROM THE MURKY DEPTHS OF THE WATERY ABYSS TO THE NORTH OF THE AFFLICTED BUILDING.

AFTER CAUTIOUSLY CREEPING ACROSS THE SLIMY SOIL NEAR THE PUTRID POND, THE BUNYIP RAVENOUSLY SUNK ITS GINZU KNIFELIKE FANGS INTO THE SPRINKLER  WATER PIPING AND SIMULTANEOUSLY INTO THE HIGHLY CHARGED ELECTRICAL CONDUIT LEADING TO THE ILL FATED RESIDENCE. THE BUNYIP WAS IMMEDIATELY VAPORIZED BY THE DEVASTATING ELECTRICAL IMPULSE WHICH SURGED THROUGH ITS HORRENDOUS BODY. NO TRACE WAS FOUND OF THIS STRANGE CREATURE IN THE MORNING LIGHT ON THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY MORNING. 

HOWEVER, ONCE THE PIPING AND CONDUIT WERE UNEARTHED THAT REVEALING DAY, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PIERCING TEETH OF THE MYTHICAL MONSTER HAD PENETRATED THE WATER PIPING ALLOWING THE WATER TO FORCE ITSELF INTO THE OTHER FANG HOLE MADE IN THE ELECTRIC CONDUIT.

SO SHERLOCK AND DOCTOR CARR HAD TOGETHER SOLVED ANOTHER WEEKEND CONDOMINIUM PUZZLEMENT. LATER PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL PROFESSIONALS WERE ENLISTED TO CORRECT ALL PROBLEMS.

AHHH.....THE JOY OF BEING A DIRECTOR OF A CONDOMINIUM!!!
