Interesting.

What would be a desirable goal that can be measured like this, that starts at 38k and moves to zero in half a year, and can't be accomplished while on the cellar?

Debt reduction? Worthy goal, right direction, fair timeframe, but that number seems high (for my tax bracket)...

Number of laps around the block for exercise? That's 38k per 6 months, approx 7k laps per month, 1400 laps per week, 100 laps per day...seems high. Probably not laps.

Net calorie loss? 3500 calories in a pound of flab, trying to lose 11 pounds? Right scale, right direction, pretty reasonable rate. Strange unit of measure though, too precise.

The sig changes globally when you change it. There is no record of it in earlier posts. When it becomes 37,873 from the current 37,874, it will only look like 37,873. We'll never know what it ever was before that. The sig is a very ephemeral recording medium.
