    My cuzn worked at Delta Airlines for many years in baggage handling. He told me of a time when the flight schedule was posted. Macon, GA was listed as Maconga. Yep, a coworker asked where that was...

    Lord it has been years since I took an IQ test. I remember back in school when I would sometimes get into trouble. Seems my grades did not match my IQ score. It is hard to believe but they actually accused me of goofing off rather than paying attention and doing homework.

    This is true. There's also the issue of a complete lack of common sense in today's younger However, once in a while, I'm impressed that some young adults, and very young kids get it, and have common sense.

    That said, I don't expect a lot of competition for the rest of my career.

    Yeah
    I'm constantly bombarded with requests to do stuff that other shops say they can't do.
    40 years ago we did more complicated stuff in school shop classes.
    Job security.... yippee
