I want to know why they spell the wind Maria, but pronounce it Mariah. But then they also talk to the trees, but the trees are too smart to listen to them so no real conversation takes place. And they follow comets, instead of following the trail.

No for the dirty little secret: They call the wind Mah-Rye-Er so that it will rhyme with Fire. Or is it Mariah to rhyme with Fi-ah. Anyway they're all from Brockton, Mass. and that's my final answer.
