"I think it only gets weird when a few geeky Americans drool and take pictures of all the boobies.
I walked the beach alone, just taking it all in. I was looking for the mall, but must have gotten lost because I didn’t find it. I actually got lost a few times but that’s fun for me. "
Is it just me or did anyone else think it was funny that he got lost at the beach after he talks about all the boobs on the beach. Maybe DN was taking in too much of that to actually find his way around. Or maybe not...I still laughed to myself on the inside
There was madness in any direction, at any hour…You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning…. And that, I think, was the handle-that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting-on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave….So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark-that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.
