"No Yesterdays on the Road"

Who is William Least Heat Moon?

After taking the advice (is this the first Rum and Root Beer friday? Likely. And shit, he says, as the Irish guy we like walks in with his guitar... We back-up.)

Ok, after taking our own counsel against Chives and for the downpour, printing the quotes and heading out into the rain, we are here at the end of the table reading quotes and drying off. But now probably going to wait for one song (and so a second Guinness?) while we type some of these out:

"There is no moment of delight in any pilgrimage like the beginning of it." -Charles Dudley Warner

"One main factor in the upward trend of animal life has been the power of wandering." -Alfred North Whitehead

"Traveling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.". -Lisa St. Aubin de Teran

"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list.". -Susan Sontag

FUCK - THERE'S MORE but the Celtic Corner power has gone out!! SO -

Worthy of a post all its own, a revelation of another quote so fundamental as to be long lasting:

"The open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where man can lose himself... What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do - especially in other people's minds. When you're traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. NYOTR."
