So, there were well over one hundred people at that fateful party last week. However, no one seems to be coming forward to offer information regarding the identity of this pathetic killer or his accomplices. Surely there are plenty of people who saw something, people who could help. Perhaps someone has come forward and we simply don’t know it yet. But it doesn’t seem that way. If that’s the case, that people who were at the party are withholding information, why?

FRIDAYS ONLINE 2 OF 3
Pablo Neruda(1904-1973), a wonderful poet from Chile, wrote a book called The Book of Questions in which he asked many strange and perplexing, often unanswerable questions. Read them, and then either respond with what you think of these questions or leave your own imponderable question:
Tell me, is the rose naked or is that her only dress?
Why do trees conceal the splendor of their roots?
Who hears the regrets of the thieving automobile?
Is there anything in the world sadder than a train standing in the rain?
Why don't the immense airplanes fly around with their children?
Which yellow bird fills its nest with lemons?
Why don't they train helicopters to suck honey from the sunlight?
Where did the full moon leave its sack of flour tonight?
If I have died and don't know it of whom do I ask the time?
