'One of the Most Vivid Arithmetic Failings Displayed by Americans'

can be constructed with compass and straight edge. So it should be easy. "

That sounds kinda like what I started studying last year but my eyesight is not good enough anymore. In a little bit of machining and remodeling and w hatnot I have used trig tables. however I got curious as to how they are de rived. A buddy loaned my a very good book which explained it, and I absorbe d maybe a third of it. After all it is not life and death for me.

The seven sided star can be constructed with three properly made triangles, to trident shapes. I found that out later. But really, cutting a round piz za into 17 equal pieces is easier said than done. I switched to rectangular pizzas anyway, they cook better. And actually I stopped making them, even though mine were usually better than from a pizza place, it still costs abo ut the same and there is about an hour of labor involved. (not including cl eanup)

So, rather than drive back home, I decided to grab lunch somewhere.

Spied an In-N-Out Burger place... always wondered about the long lines at the drive-up, though I've never been a fan of fast food joints, I decided to give it a try.

Wow! French Fries made with real whole potatoes! Cheeseburger somewhat better than average... actually tasted like real meat. ...Jim Thompson

There was a video of a pop-up In-n-Out restaurant in London (I'm not sure w hy they would open it up for only one day, but I digress). The line stretc hed for about 3 blocks. One woman who tasted it was crying; she said the f ood tasted so good.

The lines at some of the Chick-Fil-As are like that. A few of them have a three-wide drive up and they have order takers well ahead of the drive-ups so the food is ready when they get to the window.
