Geez, I dunno Eric, my Dad's a near engineering genius, many patents, so
on, so forth;.....he's
a terrible driver though...always has been.  Not sure what the correlation
is here.  You don't have to be a great driver to be a great engineer.  In
fact, if your refridgerator doesn't burn up tonight and you're happy that
our some of our servicemen were not irradiated to death today, you can
thank my Dad, the terrible driver.
