knows everything you need to know about a particular subject. If you want to know how to train a bird dog, there is an expert, local history has a “go-to” person. The same applies to artists, mechanics, glass cutters and old timey family doctors.

In the case of the little computer, an unexpected expert showed up after church.

As you get older, you think of kids as being static. They are kids when you meet them and stay that way in your mind, so the guy who showed up and started tinkering with the little computer fit that idea.

He tinkered around, leaned back, then announced he had ordered a part from China.

It was that easy. The little computer will be as good, or better, than new, scratches and all.
