CB even knows how to put together exceedingly simple computer networks and raise computers from the dead. CB has catalogued herps, catalogued archeological artifacts, maintained a library using Library of Congress system and Dewey Decimal system, built an oak table, made dresses and curtains, planted fruit trees, raised tomatoes, canned tomato sauce, painted water colors, rebuilt carburetors, replaced brakes, changed oil, cooked a meal for 300 hungry people, performed the Heimlich maneuver, and rescued a man having a grand mal seizure and a man who fell asleep smoking in a burning bed and a little girl who was drowning. CB knows many useful things. I grew up poor, worked my way through school, went through several recessions, and learned how to stretch a dollar. One good way, make your own food at home. Just got an old favorite book out of storage, "How to Eat Better for Less Money," James Beard, going to show it to the kids and see if either of them wants it. Ben was complaining about the price of food and acted very surprised when I suggested oatmeal for breakfast and beans and rice for lunch and dinner, like I was talking about concepts he couldn't imagine. He loves granola, when he comes home for summer break I am going to teach him to make his own granola.
