There's a good reason that "weather" is a curse word in German.
The German word for people has several connotations, but I am not aware of any associated with the word for weather. |

I give anything for some of that rain. In the last several days I have
flown over some of our wildfire areas. Remember the town of Ringgold, TX, it is 60% gone. More low humidity and high winds are forecasted during the next week.

By the time my kids were about 5, I could give each one of them a road
map. "You tell me where we are and how long before we get there!" I had to do some explaining at first, but they got into it. |

Today was the first really nice day we've had in about a month and we had company. sheesh Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com Jim "JJS" jschneider@remove socks cebridge.net wrote in message ...

KATW and out my window 031945Z 00000KT M1/4SM R03/1200FT FG VV001 01/01 A2988 In about another hour, we'll loose that 1 degree C, and the fog will start freezing to everything.... again. The high was 82 deg. f. here today. (NW Oklahoma)... on the 3rd of January. We've had two weeks of unseasonably warm weather. Of course everything is so dry that there are wild prairie fires raging in the area. Winds are gusting to 40. They just evacuated a small town to the northwest of us. We're about 12 inches behind normal on rainfall and we only get about 20 per year. I'd trade some warmth for some moisture!

Thank you Gene, Dave and Montyblack.
Montblack, I knew it was "Aviation Monetary Units ", but didn't know how much. Now I know it is $1,000.00. Gene, if the ratio is 1 to 1,000 I wont need a calculator thank you. :^) Bryan "The Monk" Chaisone |

At least in the U.S. I don't think there's a *single* aviation standard that uses metric. I vote for $500:$1... -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * Cory Papenfuss * * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************** *********************** |

: think there's a *single* aviation standard that uses metric. I vote for
: $500:$1... : how about $1012 instead? Well, the english units are usually based on simple integer math... it's just not consistent. Fractions are acceptable... So, 500:1 makes for a fairly easy computations (like cups/gallon = 2x2x4:1), but still doesn't allow for simple decimal movement. Just annoying enough... -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * Cory Papenfuss * * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************** *********************** |
