Back about 1978 I was leaving a project in Oklahoma and headed to MO for the next contract. Somewhere just southwest of Springfield MO, but I believe still in OK, I stopped to fill up with gas. It was late, somewhere between 11 and 2AM and a truck pulled in at the same station. Regular cab pickup like we all drove back then with 2 guys and a girl in the middle. All looked to be close to my age, in their early 20s. the driver got out and pumped gas and the passenger went inside to pay. The girl looked DIRECTLY at me and had a look of absolute fear on her face. I'll remember this to the last breath that I draw. I went in and paid or my gas and the guy in there didn't act suspicious. I left and headed on my way. back then I bought a newspaper every day from the storefront news stands no matter where I was. 2 or 3 days later I was reading the paper and there was a headline about a female body being found within 100 miles of where I encountered these 3. It shook me but not enough to call the police and relay what I'd "seen". I thought maybe she was just wide eyed and that was her normal look when out in the wee hours with 2 guys. Years went by but I never forgot this. It's has haunted me ever since in wondering if that was her and if I let her be murdered that night. I reckon I'll always have trouble with it until I get to the end and maybe learn if it was her.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
