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

My two cents, an interesting link from Goldseek from Clive Maund, this pertains to the current astronomical situation.

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.

The dispersant breaks down oil and cell walls............we are doing an experiment on a hemispheric scale.
