Many different types of intelligence.

Hi Shalimar,

Many years ago, maybe before your time, I had a friend whose family lived on the North end of Vancouver Island. This family raised mink, otter, perhaps other fur bearing animals, and to the North, up in Vancouver, they ran trap lines. I went up there once and ran trap lines with them on skis. I was young and fool hardy. But i was in places that looked as though no other human had ever ventured. It was heady stuff for this flatland Texas boy.

Thanks, Drifter, for sharing that lovely story. It might please you to know that much of the northern island remains as pristine as when you first saw it.

Einstein said that there wasn't that much difference between those of greater and those of lesser ability. Though I think that he was just being self-deprecating, I found great comfort in this...

Well, whatever the definition of intelligence is, I like to think I still have some, despite being a product of 20+ years of formal education ...
