Chuck and Tom,
Hey, let's actually be a bit concerned about decimal points!!!
Chuck, you are starting to sound very much an Australian, which
reminds me of a joke popular among airline pilots.
Seems that the control tower at Alice Springs got a request from a
pilot for a time-check.
"If you are British Airways, the time is 0925 Zulu, and a jolly good
morning to you."
"If you are United, it's about half past nine, and you all have a
nice day."
"If you are Red Centre Air Services, it's almost the end of May, and
she'll be right mate"
Remember the machinist's motto:
If you want the lump of steel for a boat anchor, chop it off with an
oxy torch. If you want a 3 micron finish, lap it! Appropriate
precision. "What's a few decimal points between friends" indeed!!!
Well, beautiful late autumn day here. Glorious sunshine, just
wonderful. Can't be winter yet. Enjoy your weekends.
