Hey Roger :-)

The subject line says it all...He's one of my favorites. No one has written
so thought provokingly about 10 cent cans. He dominates the field.

You got a GF or something? The silence has been deafening.

How was the size of Earth first measured? 
Earth's circumference was first accurately measured more than 2,000
years ago by the Greek astronomer Eratosthenes, who at the time lived in
the Egyptian city of Alexandria. He had heard that in the nearby town of
Syene midday sunlight shines straight down to the bottom of deep wells
on the same day each year, indicating that the Sun was directly overhead
in Syene. In Alexandria, however, sunlight on that date never reached
the bottoms of wells, but instead fell upon the sides.
Eratosthenes reasoned that the difference in the angle of incoming
sunlight was due to the curvature of Earth's surface, and so by
measuring this angle, he related the distance between Alexandria and
Syene to the total dimension of the globe.
On the day the Sun shone on the bottom of the wells in Syene,
Eratosthenes measured the Sun's position in the sky over Alexandria. It
was seven degrees away from the zenith, meaning Syene must be seven
degrees away from Alexandria as measured on the circle that is Earth's
circumference. Because seven degrees is about one 50th of a full circle
(360 degrees), Eratosthenes simply multiplied the distance from
Alexandria to Syene -- believed to have been about 515 miles (830 km) --
by 50. He calculated Earth's circumference at 26,000 miles (42,000 km),
only five percent away from the modern accepted value of 24,901 miles
(40,074 km).

Hey Roger :-)

Hiya, Dan. I've been keeping tabs on you. Your running seems to be
going well, but living in that damn climate means that you really don't have
an excuse for an off day, do ya?

Yeah, he's good. I *love* to know the person behind the persona tho'.

Quoted message said:

Yup. Just not the one I want.

Oh, I've loads of stuff going on, plus rec.running is in one of its biannual
slumps which means it's barely worth reading. No doubt things will pick up
eventually.

Any chance of seeing you in the uk this year?

Roger.

The torrential rains here (17 inches in two weeks) made it easy to take some
easy days. A mountain top I often summit got 51 inches of rain in those two
weeks. But such rare climatological events are about the only excuse for
taking off. I'm now taking a day or two off every couple of weeks. Did it
out of necessity recently, and found that I got a long-lived boost out of
it. I Remember reading about how Paula runs 23 miles a day, but takes every
10th day off. Well, I run 9 - 10 miles/day, and now take a day off every
two weeks or so.

It's a trap. There's no such thing as the perfect woman (or man, for that
matter, not to insinuate that I have experience in that area...).
Paraphrasing TBR's quote of Socrates: "If you marry a good woman, you'll be
happy. If she makes you unhappy, you'll become a philosopher." Win-win :-)

Low probability this year, unfortunately. But you and your Ben-something
are right up there with Hadrian's wall on the itenerary hierarchy.

I prefer to let nature determine my days off. i.e. if it's rainy, ya won't
see me running

Y'think? I disagree. Well, maybe not *perfect* but there are certainly
'good fits' and 'very, very good fits'. Anyway, I choose to believe the
object of my lust IS perfect, just as I choose to believe there's nothing
you can't make your own through hard work, faith and a healthy helping of
good fortune. I'm applying all three on this task :-)

I don't want to be happy or to be a philosopher. I want to win.

Shamefully, I have to admit I ain't seen 'the Wall'. Gross, isn't it? We
have so much history lying around the place we simply take it all for
granted, forgetting that it's an important part of our culture and heritage.
I shall def. go and see the damn thing myself this summer. I promise!

I wasn't asking for your help, I was asking you to predict my future.

C'mon, Thomas. Look into the cans. What do they tell you? Things I'm
particularly interested in getting an answer on;

1. The girl. Will she or won't she?
2. Will I *ever* learn to focus?
3. Should I enter a tri this year?
4. I'm going to need legal advice, aren't I?

That's it. Answers in the form of "1.Yes, 2 No," etc. are acceptable.

Here in LA, our idea of an archeological site is a 250 year old adobe
mission. You guys got the good stuff: things thousands of years old made
