Now you got me workin...Crazy fun at it's best. <br />Now you got me working on calculating my second billionth, coming up in about a year I recon, figuring out the exact day will take a little longer.<br /><br />How's that next book coming along?citizenschallengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559990934735912814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19032021.post-18405670462593818082017-11-20T09:33:33.600-07:002017-11-20T09:33:33.600-07:00Chris - I am so glad you left this particular comm...Chris - I am so glad you left this particular comment as we both live atop the Yavapai terrane, about 1.75 Ga.

Sadly none of us will probably see 4.567 billion seconds.<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861407526597371537noreply@blogger.com
