Back to school

     Bridget is starting back to college. She is taking a math class so she can help Richard and William with their math. It is a remedial algebra class and it is three days a week for the semister.

     I am happy she is going back. It gets her out of the house and back out into the world. It is at the University of Cincinnati, at the Batavia campus so it is not far away.

     With the new car (which is another story), it should be a snap to get there with little gas and little time. I will keep you posted on her grades and such.

     The class costs $390 for the semister and her books were $90 too. I think the cost is worth it since it will count towards her degree.

     At the time of this posting, Bridget wants to complete her teaching certification and teach. Hey, it is what she wants.

Measuring 'Vertical Curves' for school?

This diagram shows how to accuratly measure a vertical curve.  The in depth instructions are very easy to use in any situation (as you can see).  There was no copyright seen on this graphic.  If it is yours, say something and I will change it.  And those are classic curves if I do say so myself!!!While Richard and I were searching for reference items for his algebra class, we stumbled across some engineering wallpaper for the computer desktop. If he and William ever wanted to be engineers, now is the time.

Obviously this is a spoof, but the engineering part is serious. Or at least as serious as you could be with this hanging on your wall. I doubt that anyone could really post this at work. I think that someone would come up with a sexual harrassment suit to get it taken down (and settle for lots of money in the end)

I always wanted to know how to accurately measure 'Vertical Curves' for measuring, well something like a massive dome or something along those lines.

Hey, I have to post something stupid and goofy once in a while. Otherwise, what is the point. Everyone has to have a little fun or they go nuts.
