Kevin,
Go to your local top quality hardware store.
Buy the three pack weather guage.
Temp, barometric pressure and humidity.
Put it outside.
Ok, put it outside of your house, apartment or igloo.
Be sure an put it some place you can read it, faceing your window.
Last time I looked, they dont have them in Kevin, just English and French.

Of course, us old guys just stick our thumb in the air.
We get high and low air temp, humidity, wind direction, barometric pressure
the next days forcast and when the sun will rise that way.

Down here, there will be heavy fog in the morning, sunrise at 6:43am, high temp 70 degrees, low 52.
Southeastwind 2 to 7 mph.
Relative humidity this afternoon 58%.
Tomorrow, pretty much the same.
All this from a thumb.[:D]
Stay Frosty,
Ed

You know, that sounds like a swell idea, I see i've created my own language now... ehy if they have the Kelvin messurment, they can have the Kevin messurment, I think it will sell, do'nt you, its a swell idea too! Seeing as i'm into a rhyming mood

Ed you and your 70 degree weather,..... baa humbug to you!

up here, how do I say it politely...

"C'est Crue en Tabarnack!"

Translation... It's F%^$^#$ COLD!

I figured i don't need a thermometer to tell me the obvious, It's sunny cloudy or Rainy...for the winds: Windy or not windy , and to tell the temperature it's either Bikini weather or not bikini weather.


for those of you under 2 years of age, and are reading this I said... IT'S FUZZY DUCKING COLD!

I thought you were using your "Weather Rock". Don't know what happened to mine, I think some jealous neighbor took a liking to it. Maybe they needed to know the weather more than I did.

With my knees I can do pretty well in the forecast department, right Kathi Kube?

Yeah, I was just thinking that very thing...

About an inch of snow here later.

Cherokee woman? I STRONGLY dislike cold weather, too. And how did I end up in Milwaukee????

Do anyone ever say what the problem was yesterday about posting in the Humor Thread? Why were some people allowed to post while others could not?

Is David V. on vacation or sick?

Tell Erik, I said, "Happy Belated Birthday". [;)]

I haven't heard back from you on the msn project. Please drop me an email, and give me (hopefully) the good news.
