And the visual thinkers like me build and invent mechanical devices for food processing.

Well, exactly.

We need the skills.

I mean, I just, well, I sat on a plane one time, talked next to a lady, and we talked about tilt-up warehouse construction for the entire flight.

Now, that's a good flight.
