Sure..like the weatherman said, "the (metric) temperature yesterday
reached a high of 15.7 degrees at the airport"
WTH is that ? I'm glad it didn't make 15.9 or I'd have to take my
jacket off.


I have a celsius pool thermometer. It is the way we are metricat'n.
I am a 28 guy, my wife won't put a toe in if it is less than 30.
The latin Americans probably understand, the Canadians are saying
"water gets 30?"

I never went into the pool (or the North Sea) unless it was at least 17C.
Don't think the sea ever got much above 20. The pool in the park here is
kept at 80 (F) or above, and that's good ...
