Q: Dad, where is a good place to get advice or to learn how to do something?
A: You know I like to go to Google or YouTube, especially when it comes to fixing or repairing something around the house, but there is another resource we all often overlook. Our elders. There is a reason they got to be old, and it's because they learned how to survive, and they learned from their own mistakes. Why not take advantage of that wisdom. It might save you a mistake or two.
