The website also says “if you don’t go to Skip’s, you haven’t seen Albuquerque.”

(I once asked him, as we were leaving the house for a one-hour drive to my grandfather’s house, to explain pre- and post-stressed concrete. He was just winding up the lecture as we pulled into my grandfather’s driveway. At least it wasn’t a FIVE hour trip…..)

Discuss.
