I'd guess around 10% or some other equally dismal number. Or perhaps I'm the dismal one - the glass is half full, right? We've got something to look forward to, learning to tap into the rest of our brains. Particularly since, as I see it, somewhere in that untapped region is the ability to predict or sense or actually recognize and respond to that evasive "sixth sense". Anyway great article, Al (and Steve). Also loved the first post ending with "Al is." I felt like I was there. But I'm not, and I'm leaving here, too, because I have a sudden and irrepressible urge to drink coffee. Thank you for being, Pal Al.Groovy Tuesdayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09168227552356577096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625352528704690357.post-57977505272334159632007-08-17T16:04:00.000-07:002007-08-17T16:04:00.000-07:00Al, great story.

After about the dozenth time, she said, "My you are PERSISTENT. Take a hint, NO I'm not going out with you - ever." Now, how that relates to knowing the future is beyond me. No wait, at that point in time, I knew I'd never go out with her in the future. Hmmmm, I guess I did have some idea of what the future held then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625352528704690357.post-76785389949494213502007-08-16T19:21:00.000-07:002007-08-16T19:21:00.000-07:00It just happens.
