I'm still reading this book. I find that I disagree with the way the author categorizes various conditioned responses as primary and secondary emotions. They are not emotions.

I also am not thrilled about the way that he explains certain accidents, and individual's actions. He guesses a lot at what people were thinking and doing, and extrapolates to make their stories fit into his framework. But he is not necessarily correct. He is simply offering a plausible framework.

Thanks for the comment about the Salt river day. I am glad you felt well taken care of. I was going to do whatever it took to be sure that you were OK. Boy am I glad that your back was not broken! It would have been a MUCH longer day (week/month/year) if it had been.

Hey sometime soon I'm going to write about that day that we ran the San Juan at too high water. My memory of that day is waning, though.....Would you be willing to write up a reminiscence of that day from your point of view?
