This Day In.....

.....1997.....

Today it rained non-stop!!!

On a happier note.....I did manage to grab myself some early birthday treats ;)

This method can be applied toward prediction of future prices, quantities, and profits. Estimates can be made of environmental impacts, business, financial and mutual fund evaluations, and in many other fields.
