I've gone Centigrade

I didn't think it could ever happen to me. Are the degrees bigger or smaller, I'd have to think to myself, and then it's subtract 32, divide by 2, and that's about right.

But, no, now, after 2 years, I have an instictive feeling for what the temperature is outside in Centigrade.

"My gosh! It must be 12 degrees out today!" I said -- (a) joyfully; (b) ruefully; (c) completely ignorantly. Correct answer: (a). It's been a cold winter, and the termperatures finally broke 10 this past weekend, with a high of 12 (that's mid-60s -- which takes us well out of the freezing range we're usually in).
