Keith: Well yes, about 92.5 at my office and about 93.3 at my home
in White Rock. I'll do the math. ;-)

See you next week!

Cheers,

| Joe, yes of course you should. Many chemical reactions approximately double
| in rate for a 10 deg C rise in temperature. We have to assume something
| average as Guy wouldn't tell me what material he uses. At Los Alamos, I
| guess water boils at about 92 C, so I think that about 1.8 sec should do
| nicely! Set the metronome at 55.55555 instead of 60 :-).

| See you in Santa Fe soon at Kammermusik
