Education is an easy thing to quantify, describe and evaluate. A degree in Physics pretty much says to know more Physics than the average individual. It doesn't mean you are an expert in optics, relativity, nuclear chemistry or even classical mechanics. But it does give an indication of your level of knowledge.
Intelligence is a bit more difficult to evaluate and quantify. Of course we have had an IQ test around for decades. With all the previous discussions of people of intelligence, I wonder how they would score on an IQ test.
Picture yourself at a 30 year class reunion. In walks classmate A, honor roll student all through high school, two advanced degrees, one from Harvard, the other from the local state university. Easy to see he is educated.
At the same reunion, in walks classmate B, played lots of sports in high school, went to the trade school and worked his way up to repair manager of the local tractor dealership.
And here comes classmate C, class clown, took cooking as a senior, was often in trouble but did pretty well in his classes. He is now selling for a local co-op and doing a great job of providing people with the products they need for their operation, financial ability and personal knowledge. He has an associated degree in both ag and business.
As these individuals mingle with the various groups at the reunion, how will they appear to the various groups? The group in the corner that consisted of football and basketball players. Or the group in the other corner that are all farmers or in a field related to farming? Or the bunch near the door which were former cheerleaders and pom pons? Or lastly, to the bunch near the bar, the former teachers and principal.
Intelligence can change, depending on surroundings, I don't do well around groups that know sports, except for the Cubs. Around trades people, sales persons, repair people, physicists, mathematicians and investment people, I feel pretty comfortable. In each of the scenarios, my education has remained the same but my intelligence has changed as the group changes.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
