The Last Two Twilight Zone Inches
10/19/06
The Last Two Twilight Zone Inches
Why oh why oh why is it always like this?
I need the pieces to be 26 inches long.
I measure (twice, always twice) and it's 24 1/2".
I work what should be one inch worth of work and it's only 25". Hmmm.
I work what should be another inch worth and it's only 25 1/4". Hmmm.
I work what should be a half inch and double check (I am, after all, getting close to my goal) and it's 25 1/2". Hmmm.
I take the exact half inch worth of rows I just work, work that number and it's suddenly 27" long. Darn!
Anyone else get into the Twilight Zone of The Last Two Inches??
