Question is...

HAT TO DO....

Do you ever have this thing going on where you want to do something but then you really don't? That's where I'm at today in my thinking.  I had this plan to go do the food shopping for my trip but with my fridge freezing everything some of my supplies may end up frozen. 👀 So I think I will wait --and today is a really yukky day weather wise...like lots of rain is coming it's to arrive about noon which is one hour away.  

I could not get myself moving this morning, I just ate breakfast like 30 mins ago...and I looked up the recipe for gluten free vegan pancakes,  so I have to wonder how it will taste.   I def use real Maple Syrup.  After switching to Maple Syrup I can not do the Pancake syrup stuff, there is no comparison. 

Halloween is coming....

Some Grizzly details:

  Now that's it close to Halloween, some crime stories have popped onto the airwaves.  I follow a taphophile who has a YT channel he visits the graves of famous people and lately it's been people who died from violence.  So then he visited the grave of Stephen Stayner.  What a tragic family, period.  

Stephen Stayner was kidnapped in 1972 walking home from school.  He escaped in 1980 after being kept for 7 years by a pedophile who told him his family had disowned him.   A TV  movie was made about the incident called "I Know My  First Name is Stephen". 

So brother Cary had been praying for 7 yrs for the return of his brother Stephen, but then when he returned Stephen got tons of attention and actually died 9 yrs later in a motorcycle accident.  

   Then this morning in bed at 6 am when I woke up but was too cold to actually get out of bed I put the tv on...I just left it on the channel it was on just some white noise to hopefully put me back to sleep but the story sounded familiar and I rolled over to see.  The story was about 3 women who disappeared in Yosemite park in 1999.  It caught my attention because I was in Yosemite park the year before in 1998 with my Mom!  So I felt a little creeped out.  We did not stay in or near the park we did a touristy driving tour and passed thru seeing the highlights of the park made a full day of it, and on to the next adventure...but here is the story of Cary Stayner, brother of Stephen. 

So Cary ended up somehow living with his uncle Jesse Stayner in the early 90's and in 1990 Uncle Jesse was found murdered.  A neighbor found the door open and went to investigate.  The day after Christmas...This is such a crazy story.  He left work to go home for lunch and was killed by his own shot gun.  No one was ever arrested. 

So one son is kidnapped and returns 7 yrs later, and dies in motorcycle accident, the other son moves in with Uncle, and uncle is shot dead in his home.  I have no clue where Cary lived after that but eventually he ended up working at the Cedar Lodge outside Yosemite Park, where these 3 women disappeared from.  The women a 42 yr old Mom, her daughter who was 16 and a 16 yr old foreign exchange student who lived with them, Carole Sund, daughter Juli, and Silvina Pelosso.

The investigation was thrown off course, when the ID of Carole was found in a nearby town in the middle of the street.  

Then another person  Joie Ruth Armstrong who was employed at Yosemite was discovered murdered on the property where she lived near the park and she had been beheaded.  It was the tread on Cary Stayner's vehicle that got the attention of the FBI and when he was brought in for more questioning he admitted he killed her and the other women and had been fantasizing about killing women since he was 7 yrs old.  

He was tried and sentenced to death, but he is still alive and in prison in San Quinten, CA. 

So like how much mayhem is more than you can handle?  He said he was sexually abused, story says by an Uncle was it the one who was murdered? Probably.   I could research more but what difference does it make? Mental illness is so prevalent and we don't even know who what when or where because there is no help for the walking mental cases.  Not until he went to JAIL did he get a diagnosis. Most never do get that.  It's pretty sad that we don't try to help people who are mentally disturbed we only want to study them and put labels on them...so where is the cure?  

Our nation brags about it's wealth while citizens go hungry, homeless, without medical care, and without educations.  So where is the sense in that?? We have beautiful buildings, beautiful cars, beautiful everything but we are ravaged by mayhem. 

It's all around us.
