Yep! Yes he was that smart -- but my dad kept me around for a few more
years till I graduated from college. Funny though, he sold the milk cows
and sheep when I left. Came home the first month of college, got up at the
usual "before cow-milking" time and Dad was still drinking coffee. I asked
when we were going to go out and milk. He replied, "we're not, I didn't
milk the cows the same evening after we dropped you off at school!"
