“At Hamilton Brothers, not much is self-serve, and I was forced to interact with the guys at the counter. These were all middle-aged men who evidently knew a lot about everything. They would ask me questions about my order that I often couldn't answer. “What size chickenwire?" or “Ardox nails or regular?" or the one that always struck me with fear, “What you doing with all this stuff?" It seemed they were running my order through a vast mental database and determining that there was nothing known to humanity that could be built properly with the list of items I wanted.”
Brent Preston, The New Farm: Our Ten Years on the Front Lines of the Good Food Revolution

“Smart people don't work with their hands. If you have a brain, being outside and performing physical labor are the things you do on the weekends, or when you're young, not as a way to make a living.”
Brent Preston, The New Farm: Our Ten Years on the Front Lines of the Good Food Revolution
