     If I think I saw a deer running in the woods,
then I did see a deer running in the woods.  Was it
true or not?  Depends on the clarity of the
sighting/realization.  The length of sighting and any
blockage, due to trees, etc... all factor in.  In the
end, I become convicted or not, or I just put my hands
up in the air and say, 'What's it matter?'  I'm alive.
 I must be doing something right.  I don't get too
stuck on what is or is not in this world.  Not saying
you do either, just shooting the breeze.

     Ah, so the sweat stains do ebb and flow.  Sounds
as if, it's wet, wetter, and more wet where you live. 
Your changes, yes yours, I don't see how your separate
from the weather, so, your changes can come with big
punches (hurricanes).  I'm not saying that weather
dictates our philosophy either, but the weather surely
is an aspect of our way of life, so, I guess the
weather fits into our philosophy somewhere.  A
