"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..." - Dr. Seuss, Oh! The Places You'll Go!

haha jonb! to some degree or extent, i can do all of them but if the situation arises again, i want to do it better than the last time (or quicker -- in terms of changing tires). from experiences, i find that asking for directions is the most difficult.
