Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

How much is a fistful of dollars?

Are they Morgan dollar coins, or paper money?

I can "argue" any time of year.

Google says a fistful = 0.25 cup which is 30 grams

I guess my fist is bigger than google's.

The results are in!
I pulled 59.5 grams of sugar out of the bag.

I should probably take the average of 5 pulls, but not today.

No one commented on my 30K. Sigh. It’s going to be a couple years before I get to 40K.

BTW the recipe I gave for oral rehydration therapy was developed for people and places that may not have fancy measuring equipment. It works great in most cases.
