    I saw an XKCD the other day that I wanted to post... couldn't find it, but read about 200 others.

    Good thing I'm not billing by the hour anymore. I would never recover.

      johnny wouldn't understand.
      I've made more U-Turns in my first year of living in California than I did in my first 30+ years of driving back east.

      You should move to NJ... no left turns, just jug handles.

        sigh... this is what I should be doing right now. It's so frustrating to not have SAS and I need to skill up in R fast.

          The amount of stuff available in R can be intimidating but I found it most helpful to focus first just on dplyr (data manipulation, can do a lot of things similar to what you can do in SQL) and ggplot (for data visualization).

              it was your elaborate use of nest quotes... I'm sure it was elegant, but just looking at it was like... whaaaaa!??!

                  Had to clean up the mess - Gregg had tried to reply in red and it didn't work, he was missing some brackets, so I just nested everything.
