The All-Important Curtain Rods

(1/9) > >>

Bill Brown:
Oswald made a special trip to Irving on Thursday after work.  He told Buell Frazier that this special trip was so that he could retrieve some curtain rods for his room on Beckley.

After the assassination, Oswald leaves work and makes his way to the rooming house on Beckley.  He does not have any curtain rods with him.

If Oswald simply left the Depository because he was told there would be no more work that day and therefore decided to go to his room, why didn't he take the curtain rods with him as he traveled from the Depository to his room on Beckley?

Why would Oswald have thought it was necessary to make a special trip to Irving to get the curtain rods. Why not just get them on his normal weekend trip to Irving. I think he needed to go to Irving on Thursday to get something that he needed before the weekend. Gee, I wonder what that could have been.

I don't believe for a second that Oswald went to Irving to get curtain rods. I believe it was a white lie to avoid having to tell a 19 years old co-worker that he was really going to try to save his marriage. He had not seen his kids during the previous weekend and Marina was angry with him. It would be a valid question to ask why he did not wait until the upcoming weekend, but when matters of the heart come in to play, people are frequently not rational. Frazier said he loved kids. Not only his own, but all sorts of kids in Inving that he would play with. The human side of Oswald is very often ignored or simple dismissed. We don't know what happened between Marina and Lee from Monday to Thursday, but perhaps Oswald simply figured he couldn't wait any longer.

Nobody knows what was in the bag Oswald carried on Friday morning, so it could easily have been a mere prop to satisfy Frazier's possible curiosity that he got rid of as soon as he entered the TSBD. Was that the case? I honestly don't know and nobody does. It's just a possibility which LNs will instantly dismiss. Some things will never change.

The problem is this case is there are so many assumptions and so few verifiable dots to connect that you can make up any kind of narrative you like and that's exactly what happened. Does the narrative have any relation with reality? I seriously doubt it.

I reckon Oswald was frustrated that his marriage was disintegrating and he was living in a shoebox sized room which BTW had curtain rods, so with this in mind he obviously had two reasons to make a mid week journey to Irving, first of all as a last ditch effort he wanted to fix his marriage and when that went south he put plan B into effect, and that'll show her, that'll show everyone that a complete nobody can change history.

Don't just love speculation?

Now all we have to do is wait until you start claiming it's actually a fact.
