Oh, I'm in the right general place, I have no doubt of that. I have no trouble explaining any of the 100+ after-the-fact remarks that Forrest has made, save one: I have no explanation for the leaving-the-search-partner-in-the-car comment. That one is a bit baffling. If 2 people search together, the weight can be divided, so no need for 2 trips from the car. If one person searches alone and requires two trips to get the loot, the treasure-less chest would remain unguarded in the car during the second round trip. No doubt? That’s some strong words there, partner! |

Zap In your general spot can you find the girl that sleeps by the window? You know, the one Forrest said was no need to exaggerate about.  |

Forrest made a point of saying she slept by the south window, which seemed to be an odd detail to include. But Forrest loves to barrage us with seemingly innocuous details; a great way to generate rabbit holes is to pepper tales with odd snippets of data that contribute nothing to the story. |

IMO don't count out a good rabbit hole as a place to catch rabbits. I have found myself pulled at times by the disorienting fod (foreign object damage) in the books....guilty me. Above the girl there is square notch missing in the drawing....parking lot maybe?...horse shoe on her right shoulder area. She seems important for some reason.
