One mile is equal to roughly 1.6 kilometers (1.609344 km is a little more precise, but who’s counting?). This fact is something that I’ve always kind of known due to the fact that in the military we measure distance in meters, but all of the vehicle guages are measured in miles. Likewise, one gallon is roughly [...]

They suggested that it would be perfect furniture for a bachelor, and they were right. I bought my first one in 2005, and another the [...] May 6th, 2008
Lesson 3: Always take self-guided tours backwards. This was a lesson that was new to me. My friend and I discovered (quite by accident) that taking tours backwards is an excellent idea. It all started when, in an attempt to avoid throngs of touring school children, she directed us to an alternate course at the National [...] |
