Barry,
What's not to like about the metric system? It is far superior to the crazy base-12 English system and is also virtually universal world-wide. We Americans are holding on to an archaic system that makes global communication ever more difficult. As a nation we should switch over and be done with it. My two-cents from a base-10 monetary system. Imagine counting pennies in twelves.

Nice tree. Very impressive. We don't hear much about Canadian trees.

The beginnings of some data on trees in Nova Scotia at least... I'll be in Halifax soon, so I'll probably go have a look for myself. http://dalnews.dal.ca/2009/07/09/tree.html Mike </table --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
