I wish we had gone to Metric when everyone else did. Althought, quarter kilometer just doesn't roll of the tongue like quarter mile.

Reminds me of a story my father told. His first job after getting out of the Army in 1946 was assessing applicants wanting to get on board as machinist trainees for Vought Aircraft.

He would start them with reading a ruler and fractions. As the story goes, one applicant was having serious issues with fractions of an inch. My father says he got him to grasp there were four fourths and eight eights in each inch. He finally got him to sixteenths and thirty-seconds but when he got around to asking the guy how many sixty-fourths were in an inch, the applicant just threw down the ruler and as he walked away said, "I don't know, there must be a million of them." My father hired him anyway.

Good hunting
