I read this thread. -r

The mid-70's is the time I was referring to the barrage of TV ads. I remember the retooling debates. I also remember my parents getting all tweaked out over trying to remember the miles to kilometer conversion. Like any of the conversions would be necessary only a handful of years after adoption of the metric system. Personally I think the sport fishing industry would benefit from the conversion. Bragging rights over a 12 in trout are not as glorious as a 30.5 cm trout. -r

[sarcasm] Why should we switch to something as illogical as constants of common compounds? Why use a system where you shift a decimal place instead of say divide by 16? Why use a system where volume and mass have some relationship? I much prefer a system based on real values such as the length of the King's foot. [/saracasm] When I was young (teens) there was a lot of push to move to the metric system. However it seemed like every ad I saw on TV led you to beleive you would need to know all these convoluted conversions. I distinctly remember seeing an ad where a state trooper said "Today the speed limit is 55 MPH, under the metric system it will be 88 KPH). Even as a kid I never understood why they would not just make it 90 KPH. I even see things today where coffee cups say 16 oz\473 ml. Like this barrista has the scientific precision to make sure it's not 475ml or even 500 ml. Phew... I am glad I got this off my chest. -r

I have always had good luck with Green Superfeet. I have debated custom insoles, but lack of serious foot issues has kept me from investing the time. My arch measures that of a size 11 but I wear a size 8.5, so I usually buy a size up in SF and cut them down. This puts the apex of the arch in line wiht the high point of my arch. If I go with the size that fits my overall foot length, the arch feels like it's set too far back. -r PS If your feet sweat a lot, the green dye will come off and get into your socks.
