I'm sure those people exist, though I'm not sure I agree that Pete is one of them. It's basically just different interests. I happen to be more like Crystal in many ways, and I don't care about a lot of what excites "modern man." Football, basketball, hockey, that sort of thing doesn't interest me at all. I do happen to do the canoeing, kayaking, rafting thing, along with some backpacking, hiking, etc., but again it's just different interests. I just don't think Pete is interested in "exciting" physical activity. He's interested in the mind games, specifically as they relate to his brand of engineering. I doubt he even cares much about other types of engineering. I care about some of the engineering aspects of things as they relate to canoeing and kayaking, even did them on and off for many years when I worked in the industry. I'd rather do the activity than the engineering for it, though. That's me.
