Ride Needed

Greetings everyone.  I hope all your finals are going well.
We have a fellow traveler that is in need of a ride to and from Chicago.  Please help her out if you can.  All you have to do is make room in you car and/or hotel for one more.  Just let either Dr. Berg or Dr. Stewart know that you can help out and we will fill in all the details.
Thanks!
Dr. Berg

Counting

Two quick pointers about counting in Europe.

Europeans count with their fingers starting with their thumb.  Americans typically start with their pointing finger.  If you are buying something and want to tell the seller you want one and raise your pointer finger to indicate one, you may get two, as he or she will take that as an indicator for two!

Europeans call the second floor of a building floor one as the first level is usually occupied by shops and stores, so make the adjustment when necessary.
