A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance
accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give
orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem,
pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently,
die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
-Robert A. Heinlein
I need to butcher a hog, set a bone, and die gallantly. I have also in the last month: laid sod, built a chicken coop, hung art, wired and installed lighting, put in irrigation, moved houses. I've made prints for a gallery show, read on Pirate Radio. And I did laundry, twice.
