Oh To Be A Weatherman!
One of the best presents I received for my birthday on Wednesday was an external thermometer which sticks on your window and gives you what would appear to be a very accurate reading of the outside temperature with the added bonus of recording the day time highs and lows...............please, stop, don't turn your computer off, this is really interesting honestly, so stay with it!When I was a young boy I became friendly with the local ...
