Hi Mark!
Temperature is a funny theme... Mr. Fahrenheit has assigned 0 degrees to a mix
of water, ice and salt and 100 degrees to his own body temperature... Mr.
Celsius was somewhat more "scientific" assigning 0 to ice/water transition and
100 to water/steam transition. I love my city, because we have an average year
temperature of 25 C (or 77 F if you want...)

Boy! no kidding! I do a lot of driving (work!) About 1000 mi a week or
more. Try converting that to Meters and klicks! Metrics ARE easier to "use"
but for me at any rate, harder to live with. Examplple, Is Des Moines 120
miles or 200+K? which is faster 100k or 60 mph? which is colder -20 or -4? I
can USE either one, but converting makes my baldy little head hurt!

my youth, to outward appearance, by mounting a bicycle for the first
time. The spectacles stayed on." -- Mark Twain
