The builders, they know the materials: the names, where they go, how by they should fit together. The buyers, they know the part numbers, the prices, and maybe the specifications too. The planners? I think we’re supposed to know all of that. It’s been the great lesson of these last many years.

Lists Redux
I’ve written before about lists, scribbling down more words, likely same thoughts, so helpful sometimes, lists.
