Be careful how you pigeonhole folks:
Like our President, I attended Yale, though a year behind him, and I too have a master's degree, though in engineering.
I split firewood with an axe better than anyone you've seen, I'd wager; and I learned to shoot and ride on my uncle's ranch near Bandera (Texas, of course!) at age six. I'd also wager I can shoot as well as anyone you've met, and ride better than most.
Being educated doesn't necessarily change your nature.
Sounds like a challenge, Red. How about you and me, with just our K&E slide rules and transits, go out and run a plane survey horseback of say, 40 acres in the Hill Country. You ride west and I'll ride south, and the first to shoot a back azimuth from the far corner to the other wins.
MIT x 2, and I cannot remember not having a horse, or a gun.
