I
> hope to run into you out there some time.

yeah I was actually looking for you (red coat and lady with green coat) but didn't see ya. I had some questions about this deviation dog you keep mentioning. I got Don Schesleinger's book BJA and I read the whole thing about EV, SD and RoR... then re-read it. but the concept doesn't seem to really strike me.

I understand that the SD is the range of what is likely (actually?) happens based on the expected value. But how can I use this information? is it applicable at the table or is it sole for peace of mind?

Maybe I shoulda taken statistics this year instead of pre-calc!
