Something boring. Your title alone could be red flag for them....LOL
However thanks for that detailed story and analysis.
Quite fascinating.

I can tell you we don't use half our brain or half our power, except (sometimes) for emergency situations. I can remember getting my car stuck in a snow bank up north when I was a mere 105 lbs. It was an old 1970 Cutlass Oldsmobile, a very heavy car. And we were waay in a deep ditch on a corner road out in the middle of nowhere. My much larger girlfriend got out (her nick name was "Amazon"), and she couldn't us out of the ditch.
But we were stranded, it was late and I was pretty upset, so I said "let me try".

And on the third rock back and forth, I pushed it out. Amazed. I've often thought about that. There was no way I could do anything like that again. It was the cicumstances and the determination. But then again, back then I was growinbg 75 lb. cabbages and chopping wood regularly.
