Summer is coming

Aloysius · Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2014 3:06 am Post subject: Re: Summer is coming

1 advantage: I don't like to hunt while it's hot. Even with the temperatures now that are above average, it's difficult for my dog and me, I think we both carry a little bit too much weight... I'm praying for a little frost so that all leaves are removed and I can see instead of guess where the rabbits are running...

But now I'm wondering: how does a Chrismass song sounds down under? Do they also sing about Christmass trees and snow? How does Santa drives around overthere? Does he put wheels on his sledge?

Vince, I'm starting to think that at least in a previous life, I must have been an Australian... life is a joke when you learn to laugh with many things.

By the way: great songs! I'll try to teach them my first grandson who is expected to arrive here arround Christmass... I've been told that his weight today is 3,225 kg and he still seems to like the place he's staying... might be something he already heritated from me Smile

3,225 kg!?!?!?! Something must have been lost in translation! Aloys, lets try that again.

We would write that as 3.225 kg... I don't think that both my cars together weigh 3,225 kg.

Pkslinger, I expect you are correct but why 3 decimal places for an estimate weight? Not critical, just the baby boy is healthy!

SJ, simply because they can...
have you seen on how a small thing we can land in space... Smile

and I understand your remark, I even did put the "." there, but then with the unit "kg" the other side of the world would read more than a tonne...

next time I'll use lbs Smile

I've seen that decimal notation before when finding out about my European rolling block case size, they use a comma instead of a period and it at first looks like some foreign language.....go figure..
