It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart
you are.  If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

> and 446.00 for FM.

> rest.  The grids we will activate:
> EM63/EM64/EM74/EM75/EM76/EM85/EM86/EM96

> Sunday

> For Sunday, we will start at 6am in EM96 and head over to Wytheville, VA
> where we will turn and head south.  We will be making our way over to
> Greensboro, NC and then turning to go to Charlotte, NC.  From there

> Total Grid effort planned:  15
