......I really like your analysis, the Shadow side, etc. What caught my attention, tho, was the "out back" phrase. And, I thought, wow, maybe we could have a smoking board, too--since, usually these days, that's where us pariahs (I mean, smokers) end up--out back.
......Or, maybe we could have a Psycho Babble Barn board, where we could go smoke in the barn like in olden days (hopeful that we don't burn it down). Those could work for Moonshine, too.
.....just a little humor (yes, I know, very little...)
