Full disclosure. I was once one of the primitives, too. Loved drag (car) races. Very exciting. Also grew up around fishing fleet boats with big diesels. The sounds and smells evoke fond memories of my youthful life. But, now, I have "evolved" into a homo-oldusfogius" (old guy). Times have changed and, like all of us, the world need to move ahead. Much of what we dinosaurs loved are just impractical, wasteful, and unhealthy in today's more modern and crowded world.
