I’m getting old

Re: Intelligence sorting machine: I couldn’t agree more! In the early/mid 80’s I spent a lot of time, and money, attending the U of M, and I personally witnessed this first hand. In fact, I seem to recall one of my advisors stating outright that most of freshman “pre” classes (pre-calculus, pre-engineering, etc) were setup for this very purpose.

Turned out Calculus was my “brick wall”, and thus ended my dream of becoming an Engineer.

Never tried to be something I’m not. Went to work at 18 with a grade 12, 4 years later was a red seal mason. Pounded bricks, blocks, and stone in the wall for 47 years, made a good life I think. Now doing what I want when I want. Worrying about what you have or what you’re neighbours have is crap if you get off your *** and work you will have enough. My opinion.
