May all your trails be crooked...

May all your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view, where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you. —Edward Abbey

Mack & Hoopetedoodle

One night Mack lay back on his bed in the Palace Flop house and he said, “I ain’t never been satisfied with that book CANNERY ROW. I would of went about it different....guess I’m just a critic. But if I ever come across the guy that wrote that book I could tell him a few things.... Sometimes I want a book to break loose with a bunch of hooptedoodle.... Spin up some pretty words maybe, or sing a little song with language.... But I wish it was set aside so I don’t have to read it. I don’t want hooptedoodle to get mixed up in the story. So if the guy that’s writing it wants hooptedoodle, he ought to put it right at first. Then I can skip it if I want to, or maybe go back to it after I know how the story come out." John Steinbeck, SWEET THURSDAY (1954)

My methods of navigation...

My methods of navigation have their advantage. I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. Douglas Adams, THE LONG DARK TEA-TIME OF THE SOUL, CH 13 (1988)

Travels with a Donkey

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. Robert Louis Stevenson, TRAVELS WITH A DONKEY IN THE CEVENNES (1879)
