You must be online. I keep thinking, what is she doing up so late? but it's really only 11:30 ish where you are.

How is the math going? You must be coming up to the final push for the year about now.

Just in different threads!
It is about 11:00 here right now, and I am learning conversion of the Metric system. Let me tell you TCS is a welcome break from that! Right now the problem I have been working on is finding out how many inches in a km.......sound like fun? LOL

Lets see . . .

1000 meters in a kilometer
100 centimeters in a meter
so 100,000 centimeters in a kilometer
about 2.54 centimeters make an inch
so 100,000 divided by 2.54 = 39,370

could be worse. could be temperatures.

Family secret: My stepdad was in charge of the "metrification" of Inco in Sudbury, Ontario. That is, he was the guy responsible for International Nickel changing to the metric system. So some things just got drilled into my arrogant little 8th grade mind.

You have a good one too!
