I am quite confident that your serious statement is also accurate. I have had very good results hiring farm kids who can make mechanisms out of anything handy.

I believe the pertinent expression is "git 'er done!" And I would love to see a district system that includes KS/MO/IA + southern IL. It would start with five events, likely growing to six or seven within the first two years. Championship in KC, in that great big rodeo arena of yours -- with pancakes for breakfast on Saturday. It will be ultra competitive and a whole lot of fun.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
