excerpt from a personal response

Sometimes I respond to a personal because I have an urge to make friendly editorial suggestions, which I did in this case. The following snippet came somewhat after the editorial suggestions:

........ Calling me down to earth is probably a stretch, too. I am down to earth in that I know what to do with a handsaw, a milling machine, or a mop. Consider, however, that I was once known as the guy with the million dollar solution to the ten cent problem. The ten cent solutions to the million dollar problems didn't get noticed so much, although you could say that some of them have been used.

P.S. If you found the above useful, I have two requests:
-Do you know anyone who might know anyone who needs a mechanical engineer?
-Do you know a treatment for hypergraphia other than a hammer or missing a medium sized payment to a loan shark?
