Thanks Andy but it was just a gentle jab at Dave Smith for being so
old fashioned. Hi Dave

I can do to the conversion (roughly ) in my head but I really don't
think in F any more.I roughly know that 32F is freezing, 80 F is
getting comfortably warm (by my standards) and 100 F is damn hot and
that's about it.

If fact when somebody (Rosie?) mentioned that it had hit 23 degrees
in Texas and she was having a hard time getting warm I was wondering
what she wanted. I mean I keep my apartement at about 22 degrees.
OOPs , she meant F not C.

I had not realized that Google could do them though. Thanks
