Scott. I sent a customized International System Ruler (along with a bumber
sticker) to you in the mail today. Please keep your eye open for the
envelope. I sent it to your PO Box 751 at Portland State University. I
hope that is OK with you. I hope you show the ruler to some of your
students. I am glad to know that I made your day. You also made my day with
your reaction! Are you aware of the U.S. Metric Association?
www.metric.org Are you a member?

David - Great for hearing from you! You made my day with your comment!
I too like using the metric! I push it all of the time in my classes.
Keep up the great work!
Scott

Dr Scott Burns. Thank you for giving tectonic plate movement in
centimeters on your TV interview recently. I appreciate that you said
18 cm instead of dumbing it down with inches. I am an advocate of the
SI and I am trying to persuade Americans to complete our national
metrication efforts.
