RA, weren't you the one who inquired why I use a K for 1000's?...Like 20k=20,000?

I doubt it.  I've used the metric prefixes for years.  I've asked Conan (I think) if his use of M for 1000 rather than M for 1,000,000 is because of the gas industry and he said yes.

I think I asked you why you put the % sign in front of a number rather than behind  %45 vs. 45%.

I know I much prefer it when the production statements say MMCF instead of MCF. ;)

The thrill goes away when I see that my interest is .000247, leaving me with a six dollar check.

I have some CDs in one Credit Union paying about 0.9%.  Other CUs where I have CDs are paying about 0.6% which is still about twice what commercial banks are paying.  Retirement will have to wait longer than I expected.

A lot of my commercial clients are billed in DTH as well.  We also do a lot of cost per therm analysis in putting together proposals.  I like it when I meet with a feed mill owner:

"Sonny don't try to impress me with that engineering bullshit!"

"Well great, I won't.  This economizer is going to save you a shitload of gas!"

"SOLD!"
