6. Goodness, gracious, what a wonderful reply...
When I was a child my Grandfather gave me a job. I was maybe 7 years of age.

My Job was to stand in the entrance of his Farm and Feed store and determine if the guys who walked in were there to do business or to drink whiskey and play checkers or 5-Card-Stud.

There was an imaginary line, maybe 5-7 feet inside the door. Past that point, I was expected to make the call.

No amount of schooling/instruction can teach that.

I never attended any school. I just could not get to one. I just read and listened.

Long story...

Sonoman
