"I could be a dunce, but I've looked at all the threads and don't see this one, Jeff, at all. How do I get there?"

Hi, I guess go to my profile page and scroll down to see the threads I have started. Or they may have cancelled it. The title is sort of wordy, so maybe it was dropped.

Anyway it is just a thought.

......As Arthur corrected Dex's comment that he saved his family, "No, my family saved me."......

This is why I think the / his family is safe. If he wants to go nutty again then he would not have his family to save him. I can only presume that he had gone nutty before. Maybe that is part of it, maybe he was in a Loonie Bin or Asylumn of some sort for his family's death's. When he got out he found his family ( I mean found his wife and started his family ).
The Deacon of the church etc wellllll I have seen the news re: the Priest that do thigs to young boys.... So I am not so sure a strait laced person is above it all. I know they are supossed to be the pilar of society, and be above scandal, but I think that in it's self can make them sort of Nutty, to have such high standards to live up to. Some can do it and some I think try and some are not so good at it.

Yes he does have some anger issues. But Dex was testing him, I think you mentioned that recently. Dex wanted to get a reaction out of him to see if what he was touching was important. It was !!!

So the cat and mouse game is now in Dexters handsto make the next move. But also the hammer that was given to Dexter was one of two things, It was
1- just to get rid of evidence. or
2-To plant evidence on Dexter,
( So He can call the cops and say he knows who had beaten that guy to death at the
office building.)
I think he was planting evidence, more than getting rid of it. I think he cleaned it / the hammer as well as he could and has used it since then, but there may be trace particles of blood on it.

I am not sure he has those outbursts at home, I think he is a pure as the new fallen snow to them. His sons eyes show that he has nothing but respect for his father. I wonder where the car came from though? If it was a trophy from an other murder?
