Who Put The Cart Before The Horse?
As questions mounted on Friday (August, 2006) about John Mark Karr's alleged admission that he killed JonBenet Ramsey in 1996, nearly a decade later, it emerged that the little girl's mother, Patsy Ramsey, almost met Karr before her death from cancer in June.
As they pursued their investigation, authorities asked Patsy in late May if she would be willing to meet Karr, the Ramsey family's attorney, Lin Wood, told the Associated Press. Patsy agreed to meet him if it would help the case, but she died before any such meeting could take place, said Wood.
Karr, a 41-year-old former schoolteacher, was arrested in Thailand on Wednesday and allegedly confessed to the murder, one of the most high-profile unsolved mysteries of recent times. But certain aspects of his story already appear to be unraveling, and the confusion only deepened on Friday, as Thai authorities changed some details of their account of what Karr told them.
Speaking with the AP, Lt. Gen. Suwat Tumrongsiskul originally said Karr told him that he'd sexually assaulted JonBenet and given her drugs. Suwat also told a press conference Thursday that Karr said he had picked up Ramsey at school. On Friday, however, Suwat confirmed to the AP only the sexual-assault confession. He could not confirm that Karr said he had given the girl drugs, and Suwat admitted that the story about Ramsey being picked up from school came from a documentary he had seen and not the interrogation.
At a press conference in Bangkok Thursday, Karr said, "I was with JonBenet when she died." Visibly nervous and stuttering as he spoke, Karr added, "Her death was an accident. … I loved JonBenet."
However, Karr's ex-wife, Lara Knutson, who was 16 when she married Karr, told KGO-TV in San Francisco that she was with Karr in Alabama the entire Christmas season when JonBenet was killed. The 6-year-old girl was found beaten and strangled in the basement of the family's home in Boulder, Colo., on Dec. 26, 1996.
To back up her claim, Knutson is now searching for evidence that will prove Karr could not have killed Ramsey, Knutson's attorney, Michael Rains, tells PEOPLE.
"She's got homework to do," he said. "She's going to go through old records, photographs, home movies – anything she has from that time period to show that Karr was with his family in Alabama that Christmas."
Karr's brother, Nate, has also brought John Mark Karr's comments into question, telling Atlanta FOX affiliate WAGA that his family will provide information to prove the allegation that Karr killed Ramsey is "just ridiculous."
Karr's arrest in Bangkok came about after University of Colorado professor Michael Tracey's contacted authorities in Boulder. Tracey, who produced a documentary about the JonBenet killing, had been communicating with Karr for at least two years, said university spokesman Barrie Hartman.
For now, Karr continues to be held in a Bangkok immigration detention center. He is expected to be brought to the U.S. as early as this weekend.
Boulder, Colo., authorities are keeping mum about the investigation. District Attorney Mary Lacy said Thursday, "John Karr is presumed innocent," investigators have "much more work" to do, and the public should not to rush to judgment.
*Here's the deal: The cart seems to be put before the horse. Karr alleges that he admitted to his "responsibility" to help a 'dying mommy'. However, the facts show that he was already under suspicion for the crime, and already admitting the responsibility factor when in Thailand, long before he knew of Patsy's impending demise. It was because she ended up on her death bed that Patsy was not able to meet with Mr. Karr. And she was on that death bed for quite some time. I know, for I had called over there. And that is my commentary. But, if anyone has any information, any at all, to show differently, please feel free to post your information and/or side of the story in the comments section within this post. I thank you. -SDRoads

Tips for Saving Fuel
If you're not ready to buy a more fuel-efficient car, you can still save money in a number of ways in whatever vehicle you drive. Cars.com provides the tips and dispels the myths.
Revive the Classics
The biggest fuel savings comes not from hybrid technology but from the old standards: car pooling and public transportation. If you and just one friend or neighbor trade off commuting to and from work, you cut your fuel usage by about 50 percent. No other step will save you as much money. Also, if you have two vehicles in the family motor pool, leave the thirstier one in the garage as often as possible.
Public transportation saves fuel, and possibly money. It also decreases congestion, which saves everyone fuel. Help yourself and everyone else; be part of the solution.
Get the Lead Out
Weight is fuel economy's natural enemy, so removing unnecessary items — or people — from your car can translate to real fuel savings.
Get the Leadfoot Out
You can save fuel immediately in whatever you drive by going easy on the accelerator. Jack rabbit starts and full-throttle acceleration boost fuel consumption dramatically. It's all a matter of degree: Light acceleration saves more than moderate acceleration.
Top speed also plays a part. Most vehicles are most efficient when cruising in their top gear at a relatively low speed. For example, a car with a five-speed transmission would be most efficient in 5th gear at 40 to 55 mph. Wind resistance increases exponentially with speed, so as your pace increases from this point, fuel economy drops dramatically. Onboard trip computers that show instantaneous and average fuel economy are remarkably accurate. Keep an eye on this and you'll learn how to drive in a miserly fashion.
An Ounce of Prevention
Keeping your tires inflated properly and your engine running right is critical to efficient motoring. Underinflated tires can lower your fuel economy by full miles per gallon. (Get the proper inflation pressure from the sticker on your car's doorjamb or the owner's manual, and not the tire's sidewall.) Even if your car seems to be running well, that perplexing Check Engine light could represent a dead oxygen sensor or some other emissions control problem that causes the vehicle to waste several miles per gallon.
Open Windows or Air Conditioning?
This is an age-old conundrum. (Unlike a car's heater, which uses free engine heat to warm the cabin, the air conditioner robs engine power and lowers fuel economy.) So which approach is better? Sorry, but it's not as simple as one or the other.
If your car has been sitting in the sun and is hotter than the outside air, drive for a few minutes with the windows open to cool it off. Then, if you're hitting the highway, close 'em up and turn on the A/C. Aerodynamics are more important at high speeds, so if you're not exceeding 35 or 40 mph, open windows won't make as much difference. It also depends on the vehicle. The detriment from driving with the windows down is greater, say, in a Chevy Corvette, which has excellent aerodynamics, than in a Hummer, which has ... none. The same applies to convertibles; you'll burn less fuel with the top up.
Keep It Sleek
Speaking of aerodynamics, roof-top carriers and bike and ski racks don't do you any favors — even when they're empty. If you keep all your cargo inside the car, you'll slip through the wind better. Also, strip off any aftermarket add-ons such as bug deflectors and window and sunroof wind deflectors. By design, these items work by wrecking your aerodynamics. Sure, bug entrails on your windshield are gross, but they aren't known to cost you any fuel.
Premium or Regular?
Lower octane costs less, but should you use it? Most modern cars that call for premium fuel can run on regular gasoline without knocking or any long-term penalty. Technically, this makes the car less efficient, but not to a degree that negates the cost savings from the cheaper fuel grade. NOTE: This is true of cars for which premium is recommended, not required. If in doubt, look for terms such as "for best performance" and "recommended" as opposed to "only" or "required." If your car has a turbocharger or supercharger, you probably should stick with premium fuel. Of course, if your car calls for regular gasoline, there's no reason to run it on anything higher in octane.

To Put It In The Words
... of a great woman, Patsy Ramsey, "Start again!" This investigation, of the 1996 JonBenet Ramsey Murder, should be far from over. One thing I know is that many people often say, as though they were all cut from the same cookie sheet, that "Well, it had to be someone in the house!", among other too quick thinking views such as, but not limited to, "There were no shoe prints in the snow.". Now, to me, it is painstakingly obvious that snow was not encompassing the entire home and area outside that fateful day. Start again. And that is my commentary. -SDRoads

Now, with particular attention to the photo with the view of the back of the house, no snow on this planet could have melted that fast. Apparently, those were shots of the "crime scene" taken at the timeframe of the crime. If they were derived from the dumpster and distributed, I do not know. -SD

I had a chuckle over this headline on Google News: US to Shoot Down Its Own Spy Satellite. I could think of numerous similar headlines, like:
US to Put Diplomatic Foot In Its Own Mouth
US to Wreck Its Own Major City
US to Botch Its Own Foreign Occupation
US to Destroy Its Own Currency
US to Hollow-Out Its Own Industrial Base
Etc.

By the way:
I just asked a gentleman next to me, "Hey, who do you think is gonna win the Presidency?". He said, "I hate to say. I am not a supporter of the Republicans... I don't believe in the trickle down theory of economics." Good stuff. Food for thought. -SD
