That would be fun if I didn't have to go back up that long hill.  Going up
steep hills wasn't fun at all.  Neither was running out of gas and having
to pedal the thing to a service station.  All in all, I loved the Solex,

One thing I always wanted to do was take a long train trip, sleep in a
Pullman berth, eat in a dining car, and sit in the observation car.  My
father was a railway postal clerk until I was in college...he made the run
from Palestine, Texas, to Houston and back every third day.  Since then
the mail service was run by Uncle Sam under civil service rules, I could
never ride in the mail car with him (although he did sneak my brother on
once).  We spent a lot of time at the depot waiting to pick Daddy up after
a run...or drop him off to make one...but that was about the extent of my
experience with trains...and they always looked like so much fun!

Ivory does have a specific gravity below 1.00 (it does float after
all), but it isn't nearly as high as 0.9944.

Fill a large bowl almost completely with water.  (It may be
easier to see if the water is colored.)  Drop in a bar of Ivory.
Not much of it sticks up above the water line, but some does (a
few percent of the total volume of the bar).

If the s.g. were 0.9944 the water would be over most of the
bar's top face.

As I said, it was originally a mistake.  Now people have come to
expect it (and it can be handy if you drop the soap in the tub).

and I do know some such....used to see more of it in resort towns....
in Durango, the cab/limo driver I saw most often was a PhD in Psych who
didn't get tenure at the college, but didn't want to leave town.  He was
from Bahamas or somewhere (Caribbean black of some sort) and drove worse
than the stereotype of the crazy cabbie who is cruising stoned around
some obscure island.  I was almost killed by him once, and I was in my
truck....but he was driving this limo.....and....

oh, well....my mind is wandering.....

Rita, did I say I was a Financial Aid Expert?  Truly sorry (honest) to
hear of your bad college experiences, but I'll guarantee you there are
a lot of students who DO NOT think their Financial Aid experience at
the University of South Florida is as bad as it gets.  Not in a long shot!

Don, who does not claim to be an "expert" in anything, but will go to great
extremes to help students ....that's what were here for and what I get
paid for ....and I DO NOT back up to the pay table!

                            Peace,
                                  Don
