Mike:

Here we have both systems. I like metric but the problem is if you converse with someone who is not intelligent like the TARS people then one has to speak their language so to speak.

Also I have gotten used to a quaint custom here of noting on goods what the unit price is in cents per ounce. I have little idea what an ounce is but when one thing is 3 cents per ounce and the other is 17 and they are the same it saves a lot of mucking about.

I suppose we used unit rates in Engineering but I just did not pay that much attention.

Spending your own money sharpens your focus.

Do y'all want me to ship you some cedar cut to flagstaff lengths. Sea mail is not expensive just slow. Its 3 bucks for an 8 foot length about 4 inches wide and 0.5 inches deep.
