author and educator lou heckler explains in tonight's "lou's been thinking." >> i've been thinking about sanibel shells. i lived in southwest florida for almost 20 years and one of my favorite things to do was to go to sanibel island and look for shells. people come from all over the world and you can find some fabulous shells if your timing is right. the best time? low tide and especially after a storm has stirred up the waves. early one morning i got up before the sun, determined to beat all the other shell-seekers to the best ones. i raced onto the beach only to find two women already there. i sprinted past them and got to a strand of beach where no one had yet searched that morning. sure enough, i found two or three beauties to add to my collection. as i was leaving, i noticed the two ladies each had gallon plastic bags filled with shells- - good ones, too. wow, i said with envy, you all must have been out here all week to get that many great shells. no, the one woman replied, we've found every one of these this morning. most of them you ran past! i realize i tend to do that with goo

and finally tonight, some food for thought from author and educor lou hecer. tonight, lou's been thinking about turning the other way. >> when i was a young fellow, i played organized baseball for eight years. for seven of those years i batted right-handed and was-- how to say this delicately-- a lousy hitter. my dad would patiently pitch to me at a neighborhood ballpark but i just couldn't hit well. one day he had an idea: turn around and bat left-handed, he suggested. i thought it was an odd idea, but i gave it a try. the results were amazing. i could see the ball better and my swing even fe more natul. when icame to baseball, i was a natural leftie and didn't even know it. that year i batted over .400 in colt league. i don't know if it's routine or tunnel vision, or whatever else you may want to call it, but i have a feeling most of us are guilty of always looking at things in one way. i'm pretty sure that applies to political philosophies-- our willingness, or not, to accept new ways of doing business or even what food we eat. i've been thinking that i nee
