Stupid people thinking they are smart isn't new. I think most of Marco's parent's issues come from the way they were raised and it was an environment of low expectations and a lot of reinforcing out dated beliefs. I also have a feeling Marco was never wanted and viewed as a burden from day one.

Misery loves company?

Though given the choice between the two, I'll pick small every single time.

Yes, but a lot more activities and things to distract you.

This chapter shouts out how lonely rural places can be without friends. There is little to do but retread the same paths.

Things are rarely as they seem. I believe Giaco has taken it upon himself to redeem Cosmo.

I agree. I have a cousin who commissioned one of those modernist horrors from a renowned architect and it looks like some weird, big factory.

Druids left no written records. It's believed their doctrines forbade any records. What we know about them comes from the observations of others.

I'm finding it hard to swallow Eric is the poor student we've been led to believe with all this casual spending of money. I also recall his prior love interest liked things five star and Eric doesn't seem the moocher type, which would make him the moochee. It was a perfect trip and I'd say both of them are hopelessly into each other.

It's a good point. Giaco has been a mystery because we've only seen what those we've been privy to have seen of him.
-
It does raise the question of how much one remembers of life at three. I can't really recall anything earlier than about four. I was a sponge after that.
-
It can lead to a plethora of issues. Studies have shown a tendency toward ADHD and lesser executive function later in Iife. I wouldn't call Marco destroyed though. He's been remarkably resolute.
-
Giaco's explanation about being abandoned by his father makes me wonder more why he had so little empathy or concern for Marco when they left him in the dust. Abandonment issues tend to make people clingy and paranoid over losing relationships. It should be noted Marco has been going through abandonment the entire time we've known him. It has only transitioned from mostly emotional to physical.

It was a subtle hint wondering the whereabouts of Ch. 7.

It's not surprising. Birds signal the seasons, carrion birds show death, shore birds tell the sailor they're near land. -
A friend had a private railcar for awhile which was built for one of the railroad barons back in the day. I went on several trips with him and loved it.

Dani finally told his parents what had been going on. He is so lucky to have them and their unconditional love. He and Giaco have somewhat repaired their friendship. The couple thing will still take awhile to get back on track. I can't say confronting Cosmo directly was a smart move, but it was a very Giaco move.

The Latin auspex means bird seer. -

It sounds complicated. Sami would still be subject to the Italian law regardless of where the adoptive parents are from.

Jaywalk is a word of purely American origin. -

According to their bylaws, it's legal unless they interfere with traffic. -
You mean like this? It's listed as one of the ten Mel Brooks' jokes modern audiences wouldn't get. Most wouldn't get the Howard Johnson name is a joke either.

It's still not legal. Being safe is debatable. I've had my share of close calls at crosswalks. -

Isn't that what the definition means? If you don't cross at a designated crossing, it is illegal and unsafe. Unless you're a rube, then it's just what you do.
