Diane, you've got it. Just like Temperature being real, when humidity isn't
- light is real, where noise doesn't matter. I was dutifully tuning away in
a blindingly lit sanctuary this morning, and doing just fine until the
custodian wheeled in the running vacuum. 

What's the term for cross wired senses, where people taste sound and smell
colors?
