Gee Russell, you are SO cheery. Is it the water?

I was surprised to see "too cheap to meter" attributed to Edison. I
remember it being attached to 1950's -era nuclear power plants...There
was a wonderful advertisement in
Scientific American to that effect, and is one of the reasons I so
strongly distrust anything
SA ever says...

have a good day...
