You seem like a swell person. I have two tickets to the rodeo. Maybe you
would like to have some Chinese food and a couple of brewskis, then we can
go to rodeo together. You will really enjoy it. Try to rent some Levi's
though. I don't think a starched collar is appropriate.

Looks like they made the mistake of assuming that a nautical mile was

6000
feet when it's actually 6080 ft


No, it's actually 1852 m in today's world. Your 6080 ft is 1853.184
m, all around the world since an international agreement on the
definition of the yard (and thus feet, inches, etc.) over 40 years
ago.
