The All-Important Curtain Rods

[John Corbett]

Did not Oswald supposedly make the bag out of TSBD paper and tape from the dispenser roll by that station on the ground floor of TSBD?

That would be Thursday morning  so that’s him planning something well BEFORE he had yet found out that Marina wanted a divorce.

For all Oswald knew, he was going home a day earlier this week because he hadn’t been able to see Marina the previous weekend because Ruth Paine was throwing a party and he had been told not to come.

That doesn't explain why he needed to come to Irving a day earlier than normal. That decision indicated a sense of urgency. Curtain rods wouldn't have created that urgency. A desire to see Marina wouldn't have created that urgency. Something else that was happening on Friday would have created that sense of urgency.

So wouldn’t Oswald be optimistic? A guy looking forward to seeing his wife and kids , for a long 3 day weekend yet he is also planning a murder?

Some have speculated that if Oswald had been successful in persuading Marina to reconcile with him, he would have abandoned his plan to assassinate JFK. There's no way we could ever know that. We are left to guess as to what his motive was for killing JFK and whether a reconciliation with Marina would have changed that.

He must have really wanted to move up from his mule job in the mafia to being a made man?

There is zero evidence Oswald was involved with organized crime. Or were you talking about Ruby?
