    More than 35,000 people in 160 countries are sweating on the 10th drop of pitch. They’ll be waiting a while yet. Since Parnell cut the stem of the funnel in 1930, just nine drops have fallen

    And yet, to this day, no one has seen a drop fall.

    Shoe shops used X-Ray machines to measure shoe sizes in the 1940s before the risks of X-Rays were fully understood.

    The local shoe shop had one of those until I was 6 or 7.

    Key West is if you’re only talking about the 48 contiguous states. Add us outliers to the mix and things get all skewed.
