A carriage stops by a water trough and an empty roofed stable with a long bench. Driver helps folks and gets a drink. He returns, tells all they leave in one minute. A man of no rank says why stop. Driver says, no stops for 150 miles and no one wants to be near here. So, are we ready?

'Twas spotty times then, but danger is timeless in this increasingly encroaching world, Bill. Take care, my friend of Texas. Aloha, William

Interesting... you seem to be getting a little political recently, which is perfectly fine... isnt it funny how people view things though? I always believe patriotic behaviour is a blind infatuation... (not saying you are being patriotic)

I was reflecting on 'Hombre' minus the storyline and focus on isolationism due to spatial gaps of settlements that steered these hotspots getting from A to B that made the west wild. Cheers, Silent One, with your intuitive post. Aloha, William
