The Same River Twice, Pt. 2

I am really enjoying this book much lighter than the other writings that we have read this semester. Also I enjoy that almost each chapter is like a day in a normal life, not everything is connected and does always flow perfectly together. The statement "Two hundred years back, someone asked Boone if he had ever been lost. He answered no, but that he'd once been bewildered for three days. I knew exactly how he felt." I agree with that statement, especially in the world we live in today it is almost impossible to not know where you came from, but not know where your going is possible... Sometimes I do wish i could live this guys life, seems kinda exciting just doing things and experience the world. "The billboard always tells you where you are." I've never despised politesse, but to each there own, that is one reason i always try to be polite because i feel it makes a big difference in the world when people offer a lighter with a pack of smokes, and other things. The second paragraph on 72 killed me, it reminds me of my sister and her husband when they found out she was pregnant, he was reading everything he could, and very very stressed over it more than my sister was. I feel like I will also be this type of person when it is time for me to have children but we will see. "Our wives are grumpy, sleepy, dopey, happy, bashful and sneezy.... his wife's doc." I thought was a really witty statement that someone would come up with but yet does seem pretty perfect for that moment, and not sure if that is just made up or actually happened, seem liked a pretty perfect moment.
On page 78, he meets the missionary, and listening to him talk about his mission to help save people because of Armageddon, to me that is ridiculous, so many radical faith goers use this to get followers, and this is how strange cults are made.. haha... but it does remind me of one time i was surfing in Myrtle beach and some missionaries approached me and wanted to talk about their mission in life.... I am just not that interested, but if it was going to lead to a meal and maybe save my life I guess I could listen for a bit.
I could write about almost every page during this section all the hitchhiking is enjoyable to read. but my laptop is about to die and i think I have rambled already to much.
