Do you have hope for the future? Yes, and even for the past.

Do you have hope for the future? someone asked Robert Frost, toward the end. Yes, and even for the past, he replied, that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was, something we can accept, mistakes made by the selves we had to be, not able to be, perhaps, what we wished, or what looking back half the time it seems we could so easily have been, or ought… The future, yes, and even for the past, that it will become something we can bear. …Hope for the past, yes, old Frost, your words provide that courage, and it brings strange peace that itself passes into past, easier to bear because you said it, rather casually, as snow went on falling in Vermont years ago.

The Toy Box Killer

David Parker Ray was an American kidnapper, torturer, rapist and suspected serial killer. Although no bodies were discovered he is suspected of murdering as many as 60 women.

Ray was thought to have kidnapped his victims either from bars or when they tried to hitch hike, they were then knocked unconscious and forced into a soundproofed truck trailer he called his ‘toy box.’ The trailer was filled with sexual torture implements. Ray tortured and presumably killed his victims using a variety of methods and sometimes with the help of accomplices, he mounted a mirror into the ceiling above the table he strapped his victims to and would invite over friends to rape the women or force them to have sexual intercourse with his pet dogs. One of the most chilling aspects of the case was the audio tape recording of his voice detailing the torture victims could expect to be subject to, this was played for his victims as they awoke.

Ray posed as a police officer and approached Cynthia Vigil in a parking lot before forcing her into his trailer and taking her back to his home. After three days of torture and imprisonment Vigil escaped when Ray was at work, she stabbed his then girlfriend with an ice pick and fled down the road, naked except for chains and a slave collar. Her escape led officials to the trailer and led to Ray being arrested. After his arrest another victim came forward claiming she had reported the incident to the police previously with no follow up. Another victim was identified from video tapes made by Ray. Two of Ray’s accomplices were found- Ray’s daughter Jesse and Dennis Yancy who admitted to the murder of his former girlfriend following her torture at Ray’s hands.

To prevent women from reporting the crimes, Ray drugged them to induce amnesia. He made a recording of himself telling one woman how he was going to drug her.

On 28th May 2002 Ray was taken in for questioning, he died of a heart attack before the interrogation took place.

Yes, and even for the past ... something we can accept, mistakes made by the selves we had to be

Do you have hope for the future? someone asked Robert Frost, toward the end. Yes, and even for the past, he replied, that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was, something we can accept, mistakes made by the selves we had to be, not able to be, perhaps, what we wished, or what looking back half the time it seems we could so easily have been, or ought… The future, yes, and even for the past, that it will become something we can bear. And I too, and my children, so I hope, will recall as not too heavy the tug of those albatrosses I sadly placed upon their tender necks. Hope for the past, yes, old Frost, your words provide that courage, and it brings strange peace that itself passes into past, easier to bear because you said it, rather casually, as snow went on falling in Vermont years ago.

Not Even Day One Yet And The Trump Presidency Is A Clown Show

So this Speaker puts a horrible bill together, but at least he has the vote.  The bill needs all kinds of work, but passing anything in this case, since they can’t actually get a real budget done in the House, is better than passing nothing.  Musk hears about it and comes out against it.  Minutes later Trump, who has never read it and has no idea if it’s good or bad, comes out against it too and…

Reflections on time at the turning of the year. #NewYearsEve #NewYear2023

“The old year now away is fled …” (New Year’s Carol) Do you have hope for the future? someone asked Robert Frost, toward the end. Yes, and even for the past, he replied, that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was, something we can accept, mistakes made by the selves we had to be—not able to be, perhaps, what we had wished or, what looking back half the time it seems we easily…
