Yesterday's sychronicity: Saw a recent flurry of Substack posts about the Miracle of Fatima and was annoyed they all ignored the fall of 'angel hair' at the September 13 event. Was wondering if I should write something it, and then later in the day drove past a hair stylist's shop called Angel Hair.

I think you’re assuming a lot there about how much people - from witnesses to friends to journalists - are open books on what they experience and what they share, likely based on your desire to disbelieve.
