  1. “I do not take the picture; the picture takes me.” The zen of photography.

  3. That’s American pizza. I expect anyone who would put pineapple on a pizza doesn’t know what a Neapolitan pizza is let alone appreciate it.

  4. US Customary units are not a “bastardized” version of Imperial units. The Imperial System was introduced half a century after the American Revolution, when US units were already well established. We (in the USA) have never used the Imperial System. Lots of misinformation here. There is only one “fl oz” and it relates to the liquid pint, or “pint.” A dry pint is always referred to as “dry pint” unless the difference doesn’t matter. There is no dry ounce. “Ounce” without qualification is weight, except that it can be used as shorthand for fluid ounce when discussing liquids. Dry pints and quarts are rarely used. You could have a dry quart of blueberries at a roadside stand, I suppose, but at a supermarket they are packaged by weight. Bushels and pecks are more useful as dry measure. Common measuring cups used to measure dry ingredients in a kitchen probably are based on the liquid pint, but I haven’t checked this.

  5. To continue, nobody is fighting tooth and nail to keep US Customary units. I bought a new tape measure recently, marked in inches. I had no trouble buying it. Nobody threatened me. At a grocery I bought a pound of hamburger. I got no argument from the counter man or the checker. We don’t fight over units, we just use what suits our purpose. Only metric maniacs want to go to war over units.

  6. Hamburgers aren’t that hard. You just press down with the spatula to squeeze the excess “juice” out. People who like burgers dripping with fat and myoglobin will object, but I don’t care what they think.
