I read Life on the Mississippi as a kid.

The part about learning the river as the streets of New York, and changing them monthly.

I recall that to this day, although I have not read that book in over 50 years.

I suppose the nearest to a pilot’s knowledge we can find is in the medical profession, where a doctor has a vast amount of material to absorb and keep up with.

And now, with the Internet, there are not many situations where we can’t quickly pick things up.

Nice to hear from another Twain fan.
