I love the idea of Joel and Paul robbing trains together. And of course sweet little Karma worrying that Uncle Joel will be lonely and then wanting to "help" search the train. I can't wait to see what Ellie has to say about his ear. While I'm hanging off this cliff again I suppose I'll drop back into the beginning of Sacramento for the fifth? sixth time? Great stuff as always!

Thank you! I knew when I had Paul robbing trains that I wanted to get Joel in on that action :) So much fun! Aww I'm glad you enjoy the Sacramento chapters... even if Joel and Ellie would probably give you a strange look and think you're nuts?

It's all part of the Savage Starlight ride. Gotta take the bad with the good. It hurts but I can't bring myself to skip over it.

Ahhh so that just happens to be the point you're at in the reread? I was thinking you liked to read that when you were jonesing for more story lol well bless you for not skipping over it!
