    My wife and I and two sisters are going to Maine to see uncle Herbie and aunt Diane. Probably the last time.

    I wasn't sure where to put this "reply," but I know you'll see it here:

    Interesting Facts About Celsius and Centigrade

    The temperature scale created by Anders Celsius in 1742 was actually the reverse of the modern Celsius scale. Celsius' original scale had water boil at 0 degrees and freeze at 100 degrees. Jean-Pierre Christin independently proposed at temperature scale with zero at the freezing point of water and 100 was the boiling point (1743).

    Celsius' original scale was reversed by Carolus Linnaeus in 1744, the year in which Celsius died.

    The centigrade scale was confusing because "centigrade" was also the Spanish and French term for a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/100 of a right angle. When the scale was extended from 0 to 100 degrees for temperature, centigrade was more properly hectograde. The public was largely unaffected by the confusion. Even though the degree Celsius was adopted by international committees in 1948, weather forecasts issued by the BBC continued to use degrees centigrade until February 1985!

    (I still think in Centigrade rather than Celsius.  I speak in Celsius.)

    Summer is six months away. I'm just gritting my teeth and enduring the cold. Arthur hates it.

    There you go, talking in Celsius and not Fahrenheit.  Every time I think of Celsius, I think of Cellulite not Fahrenheit.. but combined, what do we have?  Celuheit?  Kinda sound the same, right? ;) ;)

    0 is frozen, 100 is boiling. Makes sense to me.

    I use Celsius when responding to questions/comments to those who do not live in the US.

    2C this morning. To me, that's cold - even the fridge is a degree warmer than that.

    Hard frosts are not uncommon, on clear nights. Adelaide has gone below freezing once in the 28 years I've been here, no snow - clouds act like a blanket and keep the daytime heat in. Australia does get snow but only at altitude.

    We are going to Hereford, England for three weeks, then back to Scotland for another three weeks.  I'm mostly British according to AncestryDNA.  So I'm looking forward to going back to "the old country."

    We are always working our fingers to the bone. But, I would like to take a cruise to Alaska.  I'm not sure if this is off season or on season.  Either way, I would like to fit it into our schedules..... somehow!  :) :)

    You know, my blood is green when it goes back to my heart!  I totally dig the picture!
    I still have to make "Welcome Home Chocolate Chip Cookies" with those hands!!!
    Let's make sure I have enough oxygen in them to see them through.
    Big Smiles coming your way!!

    Ohhhh, the logical things you don't know of me Element 99.  For, the curtly cut bangs and in my constant-thought eyebrows must dignify I hide my oxygen.  The green on my shoulder speaks, I gather only the knowledge I need.  Right now it is baking chocolate chip cookies.  How is your blood sugar now, my earthling friend???
