One must have a little humor when it like an oven here.

I think the metric system is way better but change is to hard to accept.

I prefer tomorrows weather over todays...

Derek lives about 50 miles northeast of me, in the East Bay. Here you see some of the difference living between the ocean and the Bay makes for me. I much prefer it BTW, and it is often a much bigger difference!

Like being in heaven.

Starting to cool off this evening.

That always amazed me how such a short distance can have a big difference.

68 Degrees here.

Yep, most folks over there don't even have AC. Natural coast and bay cooling, wish it would make it over here, the Oakland hills stop most of it.

I have a 20" box fan, lol. Drones like a B52 taking off. I have the windows closed now, too windy, maybe some relief heading your way

It is easy to understand why people on the other side of this big pond don't like metric system. Why complicate things, like one kilometer = 1,000 meters, one meter = 10 decimeters, one decimeter = 10 centimeters, one centimeter = 10 millimeters when you can have it simple using imperial measurements one mile = 5,280 feet or 1760 yards, one yard = 3 feet, one feet = 12 inches.

Even more complicated would be the mass and volume measures. Thank Goodness no one can force people to learn the complicated way like one kilogram = 1,000 gram and one liter = 10 deciliters, one deciliter = 10 centiliters, one centiliter = 10 milliliters when it's so much easier and more logical with one pound = 16 ounces or one gallon = 8 pints, one pint = 16 fluid ounces.

Not to mention how idiotic it is to say water freezes in 0 degrees and boils in 100. It's more logical to say freezing point is 32 degrees and boiling point 212.

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.

Dusty! Long time no see

Novel idea Dusty and Bill yep am with ammo too .45 and 9mm ???? for example.

Ah well who is really caring as long as oxygen reaches our bloodstreams and they keep making PC's

 

[DustSailor]

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

 

[Borg 386]

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....

 

[Layback Bear]

A lovely 70F/21C and a slow very well need rain.
