I spent the afternoon yesterday making apple pies, my mother's and her
mother's crust recipe.

1 cup flour
1 cube butter


What is a cube of butter?



1 teaspoon salt

For the crust, there is no substitute for real butter. It was pouring down
rain and thunderstorms. But today I see a patch of blue. I think I'll fly
out and circle her grave.

Best wishes to all of you, including the great pilots who just like to
vent their every day frustrations on RAP's willing victims.

And...............................MERRY CHRISTMAS..............just around
the corner.

To all the American pilots and aviation enthusiasts who have made this
group so fun and educational for me over the years, please accept my
heartfelt thanks and best wishes on this Thanksgiving holiday!

We have so much to be thankful for, here in the United States (and so
much to be concerned with, of course) -- but suffice it to say that (as
long as we keep the blue up and the brown down) we are blessed to live
where we live. And we are even more blessed to be able to partake in
this joyous thing we call "aviation". What an amazing time to be
alive!

And, to all of our friends from outside the USA, well, I can only hope
that y'all have a a holiday sorta like "Thanksgiving" in *your* country
-- cuz it's by FAR the best holiday of the year!

:-)

Happy Thanksgiving!

To a mathematician, a misnomer for a solid of rotation by a rectangle
rotated through its longitudinal axis with a surface drawn every 90° of
revolution.

To a metricist, 4 ounces or 114 grams (usually rounded to 100 grams).

To a cook, butter (US) comes in one pound packages and divided and wrapped
into four "sticks" or cubes to the pound.

Huh? Solids of rotation are cylinders. Draw surfaces anywhere you
want, you won't get a cube. Unless by "misnomer" you mean "not at all
connected with reality"

We call them sticks. Never called them cubes.

But, to a traveller, a cube is a rectangular cloth pouch for packing
clothing inside a suitcase - a genius application of "containerized
baggage".

Margene said, "Be sure to tell Jim we had a Burns Potato with our roast and
....IT WAS DELICIOUS!"

Send me your address using the "Bat Channel" and I'll send you a Burns
Potato.

(With STRICT appreciation for the fact that we're NOT to allow said sample
to freeze - insulated shipping box!)

No sir, solids of REVOLUTION are cylinders. Solids of ROTATION can be given
as many sides as there are "stops" to draw a plane surface on the solid at
that angle of rotation. A stop every 90° gives you what the topologist
might call a longitudinally elongated cube. A regular cube by definition
has six equal sides.

Oops. My bad. (I've never heard of solids of rotation before, and just
read it as solids of revolution).

Thanks Jim.

My wife buys butter either in 4 sticks, or a 1 lb brick (same shape as the 4
sticks). I was trying to figure out if a 'cube' was a cube from a stick
(maybe 1" x 1" x 1") or a cube from the brick (1/2 LB?)
