You know TC,
for me that is true.
nature is what i use as an HP.
one example,
i was on one huge training exercise in Kansas while in the Army.
everyone was there, thousands of troops, loads of equipment, the strongest army in the world.
but, when a tornado warning came, everything came to a halt.
(oh, it was the coolest thing ever, we laid down in ditches, it was very very close, and i could actually see the funnel cloud!)
yeah, nature trumps all.
