   Interesting to be sitting in a nineth floor casino hotel room   
   overlooking the town we lived in for a decade and a half, until   
   just a few months ago.   
      
   It's a strange little town (locals say it's a "city"..) on the   
   shore of one of the Great Lakes.   
      
   The locals are mostly proverbial yokels: charming in ways, but   
   mostly not in danger of bursting any intelligence mains.   
      
   We'll be in this area a couple more days in an AirBnb rental in   
   connection with a music performance somewhat locally. We'll eat   
   and drink with friends tonight, then family will be coming this way   
   for an event for one of the grandchildren. The weather forecast is   
   looking perfect for such.   
      
   What's any of that got to do with philosophy?   
      
   Oh, not at all on the surface. And yet so much of my current beliefs   
   about the nature of reality got their conceptual momentum through   
   readings while living here.   
      
   Does the history of one's personal philosophy development count,   
   here?   
      
   The leaning became mostly so-called "advaita", aka "non-duality".   
   Words attribute to Sri Ramana Maharshi played a significant role.   
   But there's much available alone such lines.
