| A note on the side thread that has developed in this one - 45 YEARS ago when I was in grade school they were saying that the US would be converting to metrics like the rest of the world. They started adding kilometers, grams, and milliliters (In paranthesis) to English measurements to start getting people used to the idea. I have not seen much change since the paranthetical addition MANY years ago. Hmmmm? I wouldn't count on it happening anytime soon. mike |
