Nah. If so, I would still be back on the farm picking cotton, cutting cots.

@popmol Too self-limiting, imho, with no intellectual stimulation which I crave. Plus I was no good at it.

Not putting down rural life, farming, or ranching. It is hard, important work and having grown up in it I understand how it can be rewarding to people who enjoy that life, that connection with nature, and even find intellectual stimulation in it as Thoreau and others did and do. Just not for me.

@dancingtongue well then indeed you'd be no good!
