Today was a rare summer day in Charleston. High barely over 30 and a low
humidity, thanks to a cold front that passed through yesterday. That
provided the occasion for Sally and me to go out and catch up a bit on
yard work.

Part way through edging the lawn (a semiannual affair at the Frysinger
lot) I had to refuel my Ryobi Universal Yard Tool. As I picked up the
Rubbermaid fuel can to refuel it, I noticed that the label on that
plastic container said "1U.S.gal/4U.S.oz/3.90L". I'm glad they didn't
let that complicated metric system throw them off too much to provide
good old, familiar American HodgePodge.  ;-)
