<><> As I have been trying to point out, "speed" is different from
technique.

It made me laugh yesterday when I was filling up three 5-gallon gas
cans. Rather than watching the can, I watched the pump meter for 4
gallons and then looked away and tried to 'count' the final tenths of a
gallon and let go of the pump handle at exactly 5 gallons.

I hit it right on the nose all three times.

Who says clarinet playing isn't good for your coordination?
