Very interesting. It's hard to believe she doesn't believe.
As I was typing this I had an instant flash back on believability. I
think I've mentioned here recently that I used to work as a "roving
interpreter" for the US Fish & Wildlife Service at the Loxahatchee
National Wildlife Refuge in Boynton Beach Florida. I told the story of
a woman staring intently for a long time at a Great Blue Heron fishing.
Of course, he was standing stock still. Eventually she saw me with my
badge and FWS hat and came over to me and asked: Why do you have
plastic birds here?
