I don't find Texas to be racist, but I would advice against carrying drugs. That said, I know nothing of shrooms, couldn't you just get some grocery shrooms, stuff then in the bottom the same carton along with other groceries? I wouldn't try it but it does seem to be one of the easier drugs to move around.

Be honest, Gonzo.
You know what I'm trying to describe, don't you?
It happened to you, too.
Yes, but usually mushrooms were involved. Except each time I come back with another tiny piece of the puzzle.
I'm going to go ahead and say that counts. If you ever come to Texas I want you to bring me a tiny piece of mushroom.

But you'll go to transphobic North Carolina. See how you are?

Don't care. I'm still taking cash and making you point to a ticket for me.
Do not let me down on this.

While I can agree that having a positive outlook is a big part of success, there are a lot of people who are never financially successful despite working hard and doing the right things.
A positive attitude to me, makes it easier to accept when things don't go right. This makes it easier to move on to the next idea. It's no assurance that you will be successful by sticking with it. Instead it pushes you to find that thing.
What I was referring to is much more subtle. It's there, you can feel it, connecting to it from time to time, but with a underlying feeling that you can't stay there. Like your pitch predictions. You knew you would be right and you were. It's possible that you could call an entire game, series or season. But if put on the spot, could you? I couldn't. Reality would seep back in telling me, this is a glimpse. To me it makes it that much more interesting.
If I could walk into a store and always pick a winner ticket. I would be rich, probably banned from playing and people would harass me to buy tickets for them. If I tell someone I'm going in and buying a winning ticket, I'll probably lose. But from time to time, I will see it. A 10 or 20 dollar ticket, I'll see the store, I'll see the color of the ticket. I have stopped what I was doing and drove to the store and bought that color at that cost and won. Once $500, between 50 and 200 other times.

Also I want you to advise me on the purchase of a scratch off lottery ticket. We'll see if your super power is transferrable.
My super power?
When I am prepping phones to ship back to CPMCI, I often just grab a handfull of bubble wrap packets without counting the phones or the wraps. Almost 50% of the time, I get the exact right number of wraps.
When I was in high school I could predict the outcomes of baseball pitches fairly well. I could think "foul ball" and the pitch would be fouled. I'd think "base hit" and the hitter would make contact.
For some reason I only did that trick a couple of times and gave it up. Bored with baseball I think.
My superpower? repelling females.

As for me, I don't think moving to the desert would make a difference. My personal theory is that some people live in a world where UFOs and mothMen are things, and some other people do not. If you don't see bigfoot, then it is likely that you *can't* see bigfoot. He will never come up to my back door and ask if I can share any salt.
I remember when I was a kid and saw a magician do tricks and I was in awe. The same magic applied to Santa Clause and the Easter bunny. Then later as the world grew cynical around me and I learned the truth behind the magic of youth, I held on to the belief that there is still a mystery to the world that people choose to, or are pressured by normalcy, to ignore. I dug into it in my 20's reading about astral projection, practicing Zen meditation, studying different religions, using breathing technics and body language to influence others. It was all fascinating.
I would notice things that others would dismiss as coincidence or luck. I didn't buy it. There was something deeper.
After years of this belief, I let it all go. Not by choice, I just noticed it was gone one day. I accepted that I had been foolish to hold on to it for half a century. I went about the next few months with a belief in nothing. There was an emptiness inside me. I couldn't trust my gut anymore. You know that feeling when you are playing basketball and you throw up that crazy hook shot that has no business going in, but you knew you would make it anyway. Where before it felt like I could almost "will" that to happen, I had nothing. I didn't sink into a depression, but there was less desire inside me.
A few weeks ago, I embraced the mystery again. It has been a part of me for so long, I felt empty without it. I dove back into a the belief, that there was more to the world, if I choose to believe it. I went into a store and picked a lottery ticket that was calling out to me and won $30. I had not won on a scratch off in months. I cooked hot dogs on the griddle waved my hand over the top of them and they rolled whichever way I passed my hand. Sure the blistering skin on the dogs makes them move, but still, with a wave of my hand all 8 rolled the direction I wanted, then back again. When left alone they just wiggled. It was an old trick I have done for years. the kids loved it. I can't explain how it works, beyond it works. (lamest super power ever)
So I'm with you Polk. If you believe you will see. If you don't you wont.

Alas. Confirmation that I'll always be one of the mundanes.
N the other hand. My high school buddies and I did experience some madly spooky shit some thirty years ago. I attributed much of it to one of my friends being a bit of a trickster, but he swore years later that wasn't the case.
As for drawing certain things. I'm not sure if that's a typo or if you're suggesting having a kooky imagination is part of the phenomenon.
I meant some people are more open to see/experience certain things than others.
Lies. Daredevil.
My impression is that it's not about being "open". It's about not having the sensory apparatus to detect it. A blind man can't become more open to seeing, for example.
