Snowshoe, <<he managed to make a small fortune... out of a large one!>>

May the gods be always so just.

Strange, metaphysically and physically, I feel better about the world then I did yesterday, knowing what you just informed me ... I wonder why that is :0)

I must ask for forgiveness the next chance I get, even though I did not gain by Mr. Bill's losing at the time he lost it, though he may have bought some of the shares I unloaded (who can know).

<metaphysical certitude> Geoff Goodfellow's expression for explaining the Globalstar Gang's failure to make the business work.

I'll ask Google if it has the expression used much. I hadn't seen it before. Your's is the second usage I've seen.

PS: As usual, Google is widely read and knows everything, instantly: <Metaphysical certitude is that with which self-evidently necessary truth is known, or necessary truth demonstrated from self-evident truth. The demonstrative sciences, such as geometry, possess metaphysical certitude. The contingent fact of one's own existence, or of one's present state of feeling, is known with metaphysical certitude. > newadvent.org

I'd read, but it's late. Hmmm, then again, it is Easter Monday in an hour, and what's his name was allegedly resurrected, so I'll deem it a serendipitous concatenation of events and give it a look while I doze off. I'm thinking It might be the second coming, so maybe Google was announcing It's arrival to me in a metaphysical certitude. Yes to new readers, that's a correct apostrophe. The Devil is in the details.
