Why douse ley lines? I didn't know they were on fire.

Oh, you meant doWsing. Hahaha. Silly me.

I'm skeptical about stuff like this, but open to being convinced, after having felt chi energy between the palms of my hands in tai chi class (I expected to feel absolutely nothing, skeptic that I am, and to say I was a little surprised is like saying that Lake Michigan is a little water).

I went to your skeptical dictionary, Wolfgang, and I'm afraid it doesn't get high marks for cold, detached reason. Boiled down to a single sentence, it said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "They're not real, dammit!" Seemed awfully shrill. Skepticism can be a kind of obsession too, I'm thinking.

The Ley Hunters' site was long on narrative and romance and short on anything that might be considered results of scientific investigation. Tellingly, they gave links to sites on Feng Shui, Crop Circles, and other pseudoscientific interests. The one thing I didn't get from their site was any firm feeling that any of them had a shred of evidence for ley lines.

So it's plaintiff, 0, defendant, 0. But since the burden of proof in this case is on the defendant, I shall have to remain skeptical. Sorry, y'all.

Didn't Glen Campbell sing about ley lines:

And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on ley line
