It's always a great dialog, Walt. And really helpful. It's especially
humbling because every time I begin to think I know something, the
experience of the natural and human worlds sobers me as to the
enormous depth of my ignorance. That's why it's such a joy to endure
with this discovery process and why we don't retire. I do have to say
that the angle of repose becomes a bit more acute over time, though.
