a while back
i read a post
from someone in metricland
that detailed their current temps
in celcius

celcius puts the temp
at which water freezes at 0
something handy to be aware of
particularly useful in winter

that fact bounced around
in my subconcious for a few days
and emerged when I woke
this morning in this form

i can change the settings
in my ipad to metric and
have this handy reference too

i have converted to metric
without having to drag
the whole country
along for the ride
