I did that while visiting San Francisco and Washington DC. Got on a trolley car in SF without knowing where it was going. Went from downtown to Fisherman’s Ward.
In DC, got on a bus in front of the Supreme Court without knowing where it was going. It dropped me off in front of at the hotel I was staying.
Whoever thinks it’s the journey, not the destination — try driving I-95 from Philly to Hilton Head by yourself! I personally can’t wait for my self-driving car.
I’m like that. I’m retired so I get on my motorcycle and go. I don’t know where I’ll end up or how long it will take. I just want to stay off the interstates and find roads I haven’t been on before.
And the old man says, “That’s okay, I’ll standI might look like a little old man to youBut I’ve been riding this bus for years and years and yearsI don’t even know where it’s going to”And the driver says, “You don’t know where this bus is going to?”Old man says, “No, I don’t, do you?”Driver says, “you don’t know where this bus is going to?”Old man says, “I just want it to get me throughHey, I’m staying on the ride, it’s gonna take me somewhereStaying on the ride, it’s gonna take me somewhereSomewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere”Patty Griffin—Stay on the Ride
I disagree profusely. Just got back from Thailand, which was amazing and gorgeous and the people were all smiling and friendly. But the journey omg misconnects gate changes full flights so stuck in seat for like 10 hrs at a time ugh! Would like to have the destination without the journey thank you!
I prefer to Journey from South Detroit (which is actually Windsor, Ontario) on some form of rail transportation that departs in the middle of the night. . .
It’s Guard Duck…then again it isn’t…not in personality or behavior. (Notice no cigarette). It’s been a long time, but I seem to recall some kind of transformation. It’s a shame because it ruins the humor of the character. When I think Guard Duck, I think bazooka!
I would like to believe that “Guard Duck’s” cessation of smoking is because Stephen has stopped, as well…
Things change – used to be, practically everybody I knew smoked cigarettes – now it’s considered distinctly “lower class”… The Michelin Tire man no longer smokes cigars and even Dennis Mitchell’s dad has stopped smoking his pipe – I would assume the tobacco companies are "diversifying but I know for a fact they’re merely moving into different markets – so America is continuing to kill people with things OTHER than bullets.
Where I grew up in the South, everybody either “smoked” or “dipped” or “chewed” though people were finally over “sniffing” the darn stuff by the time I came on the scene – I STILL remember having to be careful not to kick over any of my grandmothers “spitcans” in the house – ugh.
Trust me, Pig. You don’t want to end up in Russia, Gaza, Ukraine, Congo, Haiti, China, Afghanistan, North Korea, and many other countries that are in full swing hybrid authoritarian regime level

Strongly disagree. It’s about the destination, for I would never make the journey if it was a trip to some place I’d never want to go to.
