Nilly, catching up from yesterday, science of course is done in metric since it makes the scales work out much easier. Engineers working for NASA used to design stuff at least once did so in feet and inches, then convert it so that components from the rest of the world would work with US machines. But it is currently believed that one of the Mars missions from the late 90s that failed, failed because one of design teams (from Lockheed I think) forgot to do a conversion somewhere. And because of simple math error, a couple hundred million went down the drain. So I am willing to bet that everything on Mars right now was designed in metric, to avoid conversion problems...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy birthday Cass!

Ginger, I checked with my friend and she and her mother went on a Regent Seven Seas Mariner cruise.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh no sara, that does not sound good.
mac got all worked up last night, so we didn't get to bed until after 10 and he slept in my bed, so that was less than ideal.
Also? Big big boss of the whole global company is in the NY office today, so people are edgy.
