From our cozy living rooms and middle class perspectives its often hard for us to understand a man like Bob. How could he escape the trappings of our 'civilized' lifestype and wonder around a beat up strip of road? How could exist on whim, on promise and on hope mixed with endless upbeat optimism? Why couldn't us mere mortals do that? What oracle 10g dba firewall exists between us and men like Bob? None. We're all just like him. We're all totally capable of being Bob. It's, as Bob noted in an earlier interview, a choice. A lifestyle dictated by that choice. Made in 1983. His choice when he hit that mythical fork in the road was to turn one way. We all turned the other way. 70-431 exam He had his freedom. We have living rooms. He had the open spaces, the endless roadtrip, the wide open existence on that strip of pavement that never ends, only detours or turns around. Our lives are that 'never ending struggle' to maintain exam 70-630 what we have, what we want, what we desire. Our freedom isn't freedom as much as it is escape. Bob never escaped. He prospered. We watched, content in our living rooms and with our own choices.
