Small ECU investor, long time board reader as I enjoy the quality of discussions and the general harmony of this board.

Years ago, I was pretty much a hard science person, lots of 'this' kind of thinking I shut out as "flakey".
Then once, when building a place in the country, tried to mimic the well drillers choice of finding a well. took a water shoot off of an old apple tree on the property and began to walk around the property feeling like a total idiot (thank goodness for the privacy the country can provide).
When I first felt the "pull" it was a WTF moment....long story short, I am now convinced that there is far more to our world than science can measure.
So Pic, I don't think you are nuts at all.
Thanks for your words about the Gulf Coast, my best to your family and all that live in that region.
