We've Always Done it This Way...

Howdy from a soaking wet Texas this Friday,

I just recalled a story when a professor friend of mine and I were discussing "doing things the same way".  What brought this up is that our alma marter has relentlessly and under protest from the President and the Board of Regents,  agreed to go to two graduation ceremonies.  The University has grown and the graduating class is bursting the seams of the coliseum.  The lack of parking and space is a real inconvenience on those attending, especially those with special needs.  It had become a fire hazard as well with people standing and sitting on the steps.

"This is not the way we do things, we only have one graduation."  "Having two graduations will take away from the purpose of graduation"  "Having two graduations will mean that the speaker, the President, and the Board of Regents will have to go through this two times".

I am really surprised the President and Board of Regents didn't "solve" the problem by deciding to build a grand new coliseum to handle all the students at once...  Put some more costs on the backs of students and leave even more of a "legacy" with another named building... 


Momma, a small child asks, why do you always measure the ham at 6" and cut it before baking it?  Mother - well, I've always done it this way as I learned it from your grandmother.  I really don't know why, but there must be a reason. Small child goes and asks grandma, "grammy why do we cut the ham at 6""  - Grammy responds, when I was cooking hams years ago during the great depression, I only had a 6" pan to cook the ham in, so I had to measure it.... and cook it as two hams...

Moral of the story, is your metalcasting stuck with a 6" pan when you really need a 12" pan?  Synchro ERP can be your 12" pan and assist you in streamlining your operations and improving your profitability. 

Until next time, see you on down the road...
