 You know that those weird measures came to us via England, before she swooned over a measurement system invented & perfected by French & Germans, right?  :-D

Happy Independence Day to our American cousins!  Hey, when are you guys 
gonna go metric and stop using this "furlong" nonsense? :-)

Trivia: three former Presidents died on this day: John Adams (1826), 
Thomas Jefferson (1826), and James Monroe (1831).  I guess the excitement 
was too much...
