ABSTRACT
I believe that in the past I have pruned the flowering crab apple tree that stands in the center of the lawn. This belief is apparently grounded in my memory. When I look at the tree and notice its shape, it often occurs to me that I have pruned it, and when it does I have a sense of already believing the proposition that I have pruned the tree. This proposition does not seem to be either a discovery or a result of inference or a bit of wishful thinking, but rather something I have had in mind before and now believe with some conviction.
