>AKA the only scale that matters.

LOL Al ... I've gotten used to Celsius in the past year or two. Since Gary's a pilot now, we always get our weather in "pilot speak" ... temps in Celsius, wind speed in knots. We even have a little weather station back at our house in Washington (where we'll *finally* be moving back to later this month) and have it set up to record Celsius temps and knots windspeed.

Grady ... we're supposed to get frost tonite too here in the Portland area. The low this morning wasn't bad ... it was 8, but yesterday morning it was 3 (roughly 37F). I braved the "cold" and went for my daily run anyway. It wasn't that cold ... felt good actually. What amazes me are the idiots who go out running during lunch or after work, in the middle of summer, sun still beating down and temps are well into the 30's!! (that's in the 90's F for all you out there that are celsius-challenged). It's a wonder they don't all die of heat stroke.
