[Rhodes22-list] Sailing - Highly Technical Question

[Chris Geankoplis]

Brad,
I'm relieved (pun intended) that you didn't try my experiment.  You know how
dangerous an ambigious procedure can be.  I worried all night you might have
gotten confused when instructed to "stick it in the freezer"  I ment the ice
cube tray ok?
