You know .... "can't see the forest for the trees" ??

It's all nuts, bolts, and trivia to me. It's the warm, fleshy stuff that I'm no good at.
Unfortunately (or fortunately since I'm an engineer and cutting to the "nuts & bolts" helps there too) my mind is also filled with trivia, like were the cartoon character, Bar Sinister, came from & means. And Patricia, this is not a left handed joke, even if I think it's funny.
