Re: On the funny side of the street
We had a few very hot days which ended today with more reasonable temperatures around 25C.

Re: On the funny side of the street
I guess 25c = 77f....
Quite a few years back when I was drag racing, our team was hired to match race around this time of the year in London, ON as it was an off weekend for the NHRA in the States due to the 4th of July holiday. So, Saturday morning as we were getting ready to drive to the track from the motel, we watch the news to see what the weather would be and it's metric which meant nothing to us. Obviously before the convenience of cell phones and the Internet.
We stopped at a local gas station for ice, etc and asked a local Canadian how to calculate the temperature. His response was, 28 is 82 and anything higher than 28 is hotter than f#@$.
Never have forgotten that to this day.
I might have related this story in the past, but still find it to be amusing.
