This is one of the reasons I avoid Houston traffic as much as possible. There's almost always something idiotic going on - like piling wooden pallets 10' high, unsecured, in the back of a pickup truck and then taking a very busy road.

I believe that Herbert Clutter had his throat cut. The other three family members were all shot in the head.
Some years ago, the Clutter house was on the market and one could see each room as well as the cellar. It was quite spooky looking, even without its bloody history. The kitchen still sported cabinets and shelving made by Herbert Clutter. Not mentioned was that the Clutters had two other daughters, both married and living elsewhere at the time of the murders.

FindAGrave is a tremendous resource, but, as with nearly every other website, let the user beware. There are frequently multiple, conflicting listings found for an individual, and more important to me, the site could use a lot more fuzzy logic. Time and again I have searched for a name that I knew was in there, yet came up dry - it can be very particular and a lot of effort is sometimes required to achieve the desired result. I 'manage' several graves myself.

Neat, indeed!
Somewhere in the bowels of YouTube is a video showing an unusual route that Mallory and Irvine could have taken to avoid the otherwise-impassible 'steps' en route to the summit. Many 'experts' claim that they did not reach the summit, but my feeling is that they did but that Mallory was overcome with 'target-fascination' and injudiciously decided to go for it too late to be able to descend before nightfall. Mallory either slipped in the dark or was blown off by high winds. A Chinese expedition circa 1960 reported seeing a body, whose description matched that of Irvine, but the location has never been verified. I do hope the camera is found intact.
