Note the very encouraging use of SI (without parenthetical colonial units) in the article at http://sacbee.com/101/story/523061.html. Note, also, that the article was written by a Sacramento Bee staff reporter. As a Bee subscriber, I is quietly proud (as Walt Kelly's Pogo used to say).
So far, I've read no news about any snails being opposed to the use of the metric system. :) Bill Potts Roseville, CA http://metric1.org
