engineering mind at its finest..and this is the sort of skill and talent we should be encouraging in our schools but I have no sense that we really are..maybe we are and I just don't know. We need to regain the can-do attitude that Americans..all, north, south, central, Greenland etc. used to have and some still of course have..but I think it has been lessened by constant obstacles..some necessary, some frivolous.
