Not unless you can download the Allen movie and _East of Eden_.

The movie came flooding back with the electric tractor discussion.

There's just something about kinematics in the summer on a farm that
attracts / distracts guys like nothing else. That explains why there
are so many funky looking farm impliments.

Writers and women chuckle at it. Small children love it.

What's even funnier is a lot of contraptions are still in use and seem
to work reliably.

I may suffer from this tendency more than anyone. Even a gate latch
will sear itself in my mind more than any text or face or music.

Literary and artistic creation are easier than engineering creation.

Engineering design requires not only a *lot* of radical ideas, but the
ability to evaluate the quantitative features and prectical/economical
virtues of each; that a mighty sifting process. Then it requires the
engineering skill to implement the best idea.

And almost all the low-hanging fruit has been picked, by hundreds of
years of amateur and professional thinkers.

I suppose that would mean releasing my tax returns, alongside the tax
