I'm a fur piece away, but I like to save these things for future reference.  Is that 74T or T67?

Is that how Siri re-spelled ‘hour’ for you?   :)

or how far is a fur piece?  
 

Similar to a furlong?

 

Best regards,

Well i finally made it over to wing it cafe. 
it has a decent selection of burgers and breakfast food like omelettes and pancakes.  i had chips and queso with chorizo meat. It had a good spice flavor to it and i had a chief salad with bluecheese. Dressing and a coke. It was $22 i think including tax. I’ll be back to try their burgers next time if I’m late or omelet if i get there in the AM.

In high school, I once wrote a paper that contained some time, speed, and distance calculations.  In order to show that it doesn't matter whether you use metric or imperial or some other system as long as the reader understands the units, I did all the distances in furlongs, velocities in "furlongs per fortnight", etc.  Got an "A".

Furlongs per fortnight was my high school Physics teacher's favorite exemplar. If memory still serves, highway speeds are on the order of 88,000.

EDIT:  so much for memory. A few moments with my calculator gave 60 mph = 161,280 fpf. But my Mooney cruises at 443,520 fpf!  :D
