1st thought

I am truly concerned for Jose Acardio Buendia's well-begin and how he is acting. He disregards his family as a whole to try to take part in making gold that probably will never happen in all actuality. I don't know how they survive as a family if he constantly taking the inheritance that Ursula has. What will happen when they run out of money? What if he never ever finds the formula to make gold? Will he end up doing this for the rest of his life? Then the whole "discovery" of ice comes up. What is so fascinating about it. Its just frozen water, and it doesn't seem like something that would remind anyone of ice in any kind of way. Well hopefully my questions will be answered later on in the story.
