Feel like I missing something reading this book. McCarthy seems to be making a comparison between buying a horse and buying a woman? As if to demonstrate that a man who can spot a lame horse from 10 seconds of walking can't spot a "lame" woman after months of paying to fuck her? But somehow trying to make it seem endearing because "love" and "times were different then".

"You sure you’re okay?
Yeah. I’m all right. I just get to thinkin about things is all.
Yeah.
It dont help none though, does it?
Nope"
Strong thread throughout The Crossing series (and all of aMcCarthy's books?) is the power of doing and letting the thinking happen in the background. Or maybe it is thought without action is a waste of time?
