For President, USMA:
Madam. Since I am not permanantly stationed in US and would be visiting my children, I did not extend my yearly subscription etc. At age 69, is there any compounding fee that can be paid in ONE LUMP SUM to become life member etc. so I keep getting USMA info/details.

*****The New Calendar Rhyme*****
Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!
And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule! ***** ***** ***** *****

In the recent TAKS test for Year 4 in Texas my daughter was asked how big is a gallon, the school had taught her all the metric ones and some of the FFU ,
I stir up my students by asking how many barley corns to the inch, but gallons? surely we could ask these people to be simple.

No metric in Texas to speak of?
