Fahrenheit

As we are going to Orlando next week, I am thinking much about temperature.  It will be about a 50 degree difference for us. We are not going because we love Orlando, but because the two Arctic Circle sons and the women who love them will be there. Norway and Alaska don't get to see each other in the flesh that often. It's about six flights for each to get to the other, and neither of them has done it.  When they see each other at all, it is because they have each taken three flights to NH. One 3000 mile direct flight over the North Pole would do it for them, but that flight does not exist.*  For them, it will be a 60 degree and 80 degree difference, respectively. 

Fahrenheit is how people feel, Celsius is how water feels, Kelvin is how molecules feel. 

I am a big proponent of sticking with Fahrenheit, because 0-100 degrees is a nice even scale. 20 degrees is Cold, and 0 degrees is Too Damn Cold.  80 degrees is Hot and 100 degrees is Too Damn Hot. Celsius is not superior.  I don't care how my ambient temperature relates to the melting point of tin, thanks.
