Funny how the 'genius' tag often is taken by the public at large to mean that the one so tagged has the ability to expound on almost everything in 'genius' terms.

What I mean, is I live in the rural western U.S. and one day driving my trusty but comfortably worn Ford 4 wheel drive pickup down one of our less than perfect county roads at least 10 miles from the nearest habitation, when I came upon a relatively new Volvo station wagon. The driver was standing outside, bent over, looking at one wheel. As I approached and slowed, I could see a look of relief come over his whole face. Stopping, it was easily seen that he had a simple flat tire. He said he didn't know what was wrong, but added that the Volvo had "always been dependable". I asked if he had a spare and jack. He was completely befuddled by the question so I asked if I could look in the rear compartment. Neatly stored in the wheel house was a never used spare tire and jack. I used my own utility jack (used for everything on a ranch, including fence straightening or calf pulling), and in short order had the tire changed. He thanked me profusely and offered to pay, but, of course I declined... it's the cowboy way...

Next time I saw him was about a month later at a local (relatively speaking) Community College where he was the guest speaker presenting the current status of examination of Globular Clusters... which populate the halo or bulge of the Milky Way and other galaxies with a significant concentration toward the Galactic Center.
So it goes... He was quite tweedy... appropriately so. Nice guy but I wouldn't want to trust him with my Blue Heeler or cow horse...
