The incredible drought Worcester has
experienced over the past few months got a bit of a respite yesterday as nearly
two inches of rain fell. I think a solid percentage of that fell when I was outside
with the Wonder Pooch for his morning constitutional and putting the weekly
rubbish pickup on the curb. It was a definite reminder of infantry days with the
old saying, “If it ain’t rainin, it ain’t trainin”. Buddy was into his usual
rain storm mode which meant hyperactivity along with breathless anticipation of
the world ending. At least the man cave now seems to offer a calming influence that
drugs, clothing, and incarceration have previously failed at. The Man Cave DOES
have medicinal effects!

The visiting Panamanians took a
semi-rest day from their constant traveling although they did venture forth to accomplish
some local shopping. Luckily their guide, my Favorite Panamanian, is considered
a world renowned expert in that area of endeavor. When they returned we watched
the movie Jumanji since they’d visited Keene the day before. I hadn’t seen it
in a few years and really enjoyed experiencing it with them; another reminder
of just how much a loss Robin Williams was.

I finished the night watching a
fascinating documentary on the JonBenét Ramsey murder investigation,
unbelievably now twenty years ago. I’d seen her now fully grown brother Burke
recently on Good Morning America and thought he came off exceedingly weird. The
case always bothered me, not the least because a young girl was murdered with
no resolution. The documentary brought together some leading criminologists and
forensic scientists who reexamined all the evidence and provided substantial
eye openers. They solved the case but for the ever present lurking legal
profession had to couch their conclusions.
Some of the bombshells they dropped:
deciphering some formerly inaudible portions of the 911 call which shows the
Ramseys talking with Burke in the kitchen, identifying the murder weapon – a
heavy flashlight still on the kitchen table when the investigation started,
debunking the intruder theory as well as the DNA tests that supposedly cleared the
Ramseys, that Burke had previously struck his sister in the face with a golf
club, and revealing the Ramseys were actually indicted by the grand jury for
aiding the killer after the fact but for political reasons the district
attorney decided not to prosecute.
The theory they propose and support
with convincing evidence: The Ramseys came home from Christmas dinner, and John
carried a sleepy JonBenét upstairs. Patsy served Burke pineapple downstairs,
but JonBenét woke up, went downstairs and snatched a piece from Burke's bowl
for herself. Burke was likely angry about some things and this was the last
straw for the sister who stole his mother’s attention, so he grabbed the
nearest object—the flashlight—and hit her on the head. It was a horrible
accident, but not intentional. The Ramseys tried their best to make it so that
the cops couldn't solve the crime, having already lost one child.
