Train of Thought

Have you ever tried to follow a person's train of thought? I ask this because, I find the topic very interesting. I mean, sometimes my friends seem to bring up totally random facts, but when I ask them, they depict this interesting line of thought procession. Honestly, there are no limits when it comes to what you can hold in your mind. The mind..... the place where ll your memories you have ever thought, all you have ever seen or experienced are crammed impossibly into one small space.
The reason I thought of this, is because not very long ago, I was watching the news and then about 5 seconds later, my mind had skipped down a path of logic that brought me to consider the actions of wild bears in Alaska. I could take you on this creative journey, but it takes about 50 times longer to write about it, then the 5 seconds it took me to think of it. Isn't that funny? So here goes:
1.) Watching the News. I was reading those scrolls at the bottom that tell you about all the horrible stuff happening around the world.
2.) I thought hmm, I bet in earlier times, a lot of bad stuff like this happened, but they just didn't have a good source for communicating it to everyone.
3.) This reminded me of Mark Twain. (When he was young, he used to print fake tragedies in the newspaper as a joke to mess with the people.)
4.) Well, Mark Twain immediately made me think of a steamboat.
5.) Which reminded me of the yummy restaurant on the huge boat at Downtown Disney.
6.) I ate some pretty good fish on that boat. (I don't remember what kind)
7.) Salmon is also a tasty fish.
8.) I went to a Salmon bake in Alaska where they made really yummy Salmon.
9.) There are a lot of bears in Alaska that also like Salmon.
10.) I wonder what bears do all day?
BAM! Train of Thought. Isn't it interesting how a bunch of my random facts and experiences interested with that once thought I had while watching the news, and brought me to this finish?
If I may offer a suggestion, the next time somebody brings up something that you would consider "random," try asking what led them to that topic. You might be quite amused.
