Dull grey and looks like rain - 10c here atm :)
Yeah well,each to his own - thing is the gallon for instance is different in the US than the UK and so on and so on when all measurements can be sorted around an irrefutable fact of physics and that is the weight of water but I suppose rocket science isn't everyones forte
So why don't we all go back to pounds shillings and pence and ditch cents and dollars or whatever that DECIMAL system is using ?? Ever noticed that in the US talking of distance it is miles and measuring short distances say in car crashes or such metres are used - theres' a nonsense for starters.
Temperatures are of subjective and even the Kelvin was left out of that comment Kari.
It's funny how some things are. We have 2 liter bottles of soda. Bottled water is listed as 16.9 fl oz (1.05 pints) because of course they are 500mL. Wine and liquor come in 750 mL bottles. Engine sizes are listed in liters instead of cubic inches (or as well as). Of course the storage for PCs is in various bytes, etc. When I was in grade school, we were started on learning metric because the plan was to switch. There were concerns some would use the switch to charge more for less, etc. Then it just mostly went away. A Guy
Going to be 20c today just nice ..... But looks as if it will be the last good day for awhile
92 high, down to 61 low (33/16 for the rest of the world) tomorrow Mojave Desert. We've had higher and the brunt of summer hasn't even started. We often get into the beginning of triple digits come the peak of summertime and more.
My poor, fair skin complexion cares. Apparently, the whiter you are, the easier you burn O.O Haha!
And good to see everyone, and you Bill, you ol' dog you. Been a while. Thought I'd complain abit about our Pitch Black style heat wave called summer :)
Two days of somewhat decent weather, followed by a night of T Storms & heavy rain this morning....supposed to be like this all day. Grey & dreary....
