ya' know...I agree with all that, LH...and since I DON'T know, I choose not to speculate and toss prayers and pleas for 'blessings' about as if I could expect that my little wishes would affect it all.

I don't know what's out there-
I don't know if anything knows I'm down here-
I don't know how 'it' could affect me if either of 'us' knew about each other-
I see no obvious pattern to events that would enlighten me so I could know---
I see all those who DO claim to know taking widely divergent positions and arguing with each other....and unlike the Red Queen, I can't bring myself to believe six impossible (or contradictory) things before breakfast.

There used to be a political party in the US called "The Know-Nothings". Maybe we need it back   ;>))
