After a natural calamity, mysterious disaster, death in the family, or really bad restaurant meal, the leaders of the effected people swoop into villaging mode, to comfort and support one another. Because, as we all know, it takes a village to bring about healing and repair.

Passing GAS is the inevitable result of acquiring too many guitars, selling one off (passing it off to the next GAS sufferer), and severely regretting the sale. It is an unsettling yet temporary condition. Time is the only cure. Or buying another guitar.

When the forces of Nature turn to reveal that things are just not as they seem, you live through an oppo-plot.
I filed my tax return, fully expecting to be thrown in jail for tax evasion. Then I received a letter from the IRS, they reviewed and adjusted my return, and ...talk about your oppo-plot...got a check for $1,355!
