from Wikipedia: (I know, not always a reliable source, but i looked at a few)

"In U.S. land surveying, a section is an area nominally one mile square, containing 640 acres (2.6 kmē). Nominally, 36 sections make up a survey township on a rectangular grid. As the townships are based on meridians (of longitude) which converge towards the north pole, some sections which vary slightly in size are necessary to compensate. These unusually sized sections generally occur at the northern- or western-most edges of townships."

it's fun reading about land, measurements to me.
north/south, east/west. It's all laid out so nicely.
the further west, the more rectangular the sections.
hey, tru, thanks, but not going to worry about it!
Steve. I don't have much to add right now. If you look at my posts, i do post on CC about once, twice a day, anyway.
I have removed about half my photos from my gallery, and that really bothers me. I guess nobody really cares anyway. I remove 4-5 a day. There are several things that have bothered me about CC, not just the thing with dumba$$ cdc.
so.... when i feel like i have something to add to our chat thread, i'll jump in.
I just haven't had much reason to post. I have zillions of activities taking huge amounts of my time, and playing on CC is having to take a backseat. Today i don't have but a couple of 'weekend school projects' for kids, so i am hoping to get 3 cars out and do some cleaning, and driving. The mustang is deader than a doornail, will have to jump it. Pepe.... well who knows??? Hopefully will do more test driving around the area today. If i could get my confidence up that he won't 'stall out' whatever, for an hour or more drive, then that will make me feel much better regarding Austin.
The 500 is fun, drove it yesterday, and that car just loves to go. Try to avoid water, and it's been messy lately. Not necessarily rainy, but lots of moisture, messiness, and i don't want to have to clean it up when i get back from just a fun drive. There is some construction on the main street getting out of my neighborhood, (concrete cutting) and man it has made a bunch of muddy, concrete dust 'sludge' so to speak. It has spattered up all over the Suburban, and what a drag. That car is a mess, don't want to do that on my pretty ones!!
off to church.
just checking in.
