Edgar,
Speaking for myself, Dad taught me to chop wood, carry water, etc.
I wish to God he could have met my Shih-fu, or your Teachers. They would have
been Jake with him! Dad died too young, after doing that work for 50 years. I
carry on, but that's mostly WHAT I do. He was a lot more productive.
But, for him too, words were GOADS, not Gods!
So, yes, dem hard-hats kin teach a guy, you betcha. Known any?
--Joe
PS So'diers got a perspective, too. Too "Samurai" for me, but I bow anyhow,
you bet I do. ;-)
