Thanks! Several FReeper’s helped me learn that html stuff and put the page together.

It’s sure been my observation

There are exceptions

My ex girlfriend is the dean of Hydrology at UT Austin

Her family was ravaged by cancer in Kingston JA area

High incidence of radon in those calcium carbonate rocks or at least they allow it up

She was a forerunner in the study of radon

Generalizations can be valid, just as exceptions to the rule.

I have had this weird late in life conversion to tech that has stunned me. I’ve never been strong at math — until recently. . . . I think it was probably aided by an obsession with logic puzzles that I’ve had for over a decade

My experience has been similar. I've been wondering whether estrogen is a factor. For medical reasons, my doctors had to take measures to lower my estrogen levels, and now my verbal skills are not what they used to be. Some articles claim this is a side effect of lower estrogen. Anyway, all of a sudden, in recent years, I discovered an interest in math.

Of course, other factors are possible, too, such as not enough practice in English, focusing more on helping my kids with their high school math homework, and so on.

In my 40 years as a computer chip designer I have had the privilege of working with several very gifted woman engineers. I have deep respect for these women and thank them for the mentoring some had provided me over the years

“Growing up I was the only person who loved word problems in class... “

In real life, every problem is a word problem. You should have been a computer programmer.
