There's so many things I love about summer - like sitting on the patio on a warm day. The way the woodlot surrounding the property turns so green. And not having to wear socks for months!

Last night I noticed the fireflies and heard the locusts droning. Even though we are forecast to be in a heat wave for the next 24 hours, there are signs of the approaching turn toward autumn.

It's going to be quite warm, here, too, for the next few days.

But Celsius is always cooler than Fahrenheit, right?

I had to think about this. Unless you get to really cold temperatures?

 

[Louanne Learning]

I was right!

If you're going to start talking about the Kelvin Scale, I'm leaving. It just depresses me with those numbers.

It's not terribly relevant until you start talking about spectral classes and stellar temps and shit.

So on that note, which would y'all rather be? A 30K Kelvin O class rockstar that explodes in a few million years, or a 3K Kelvin fat ass M class that never dies?

Better to burn out than fade away?

"Burning out" is often just premature failure, retconned.

Not a fan of either to be honest. Existence in perpetuity, against the second law of thermodynamics, would be my preference.

I just don't want my name to be Kelvin.

 

[Dante Dases]

Me neither. I don't want your name to be Kelvin.

 

[Louanne Learning]

Or Celsius or Fahrenheit

 

[Rigor Mortis]

Fahrenheit could work. Might need to change up my wardrobe and get the right hat, though.

My favourite name for a girl was always Grace

 

[Kerrin]

Gotta name your kid Fahrenheit if she's born at 4:51.

It's another hot one here. Going up to 32 C today.

Funny how we attach to names. My brother and his wife in Wales were expecting same time as we were expecting our first. He and I had never discussed names for children until, over the phone with both his and mine imminent, it transpired we had settled on the same choices for girl or boy. Granted the boy's name was our dad's, but the girl's wasn't a family name nor one familiar to us. He got the boy's name, we the girl's.

I employ at least 5 people named Kelvin. Three of them in one store. Big Kelvin, Little Kelvin, and K2. Very common Latin name.
