Went to the hardware store and had to spent a long time conversing - TopicsExpress



          

Went to the hardware store and had to spent a long time conversing with Ingrid why we were not going to buy a huge pink hammer to play with, or a roll of pink duck tape. We ended purchasing a mini tape measure, also pink for $1; the store clerk gave it in sale, I think out of sympathy. Now Ingrid is symbolizing with the new toy, moving around, re-ordering, and of course measuring everything. In the meanwhile, I am trying to hold my breath while thinking in History and practice of applied geometry (yes, I took this class as undergrad!). I am remembering the lesson on Champollion and the hordes of mathematicians that Napoleon send to measure Egypt as a result of its colonization.
