Subj : food, etc... To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Thu Dec 26 2019 08:58:00 Hi Nancy! BM>> That would solve a few issues! ...Ooo: I just thought of another BM>> problem: when I set up a new computer for the time zone I've been BM>> selecting 'Chicago' (most of the time it pops up on it's own, probably BM>> based on where I insert to the Internet based on IP addresses). All BM>> the computer (regardless of OS) times zone information would have to be BM>> updated! NB>> Or you could just leave them all as they are, and mentally do the NB>> correction if necessary.... BM> If a mental correction is needed might be easier to just go GMT and BM> calculate everything/everywhere. ...Mental exercise is getting a BM> cramp! NB> I've been leaving my computers on EST year-round for years... NB> there's only minor mental correction needed... besides, this one NB> tends to gain time... periodically I reset things just so that NB> it's easier to deal with... ;) AFAIK all computers will gain or loose time, which to me seems odd as they have $19.99 watches accurate to one second per month (maybe a little exaggeration!). ...When the time comes up January 1, 1980, you know you have a battery problem! BM>> Tomorrow it's supposed to have a high of 48ø and drop to 21ø (a few BM>> degrees warmer on either side compared to last week's forecasts). BM>> Tuesday and Wednesday high of 24ø, low of 15ø; Thursday back to more BM>> seasonal with a high of 40ø. Might have some flurries during the cold BM>> days but no accumulation (or so they say! ). NB>> They're mostly only guessing, after all... ;) So far this week, we've NB>> had only an inch or two all told, but more had been predicted... and NB>> the night there wasn't going to be any accumulation we got maybe an NB>> inch or so... ;) We get what we get... BM> Supposed to be 44ø later this afternoon; rest of the week and through BM> Christmas also highs in the mid- and upper 40's, possibly Tuesday BM> hitting 50ø! Normal is just above freezing. The meteorologist who BM> earlier in the week was doing a less than 5% and then less than 2% BM> chance for a white Christmas was off today; the one this morning BM> didn't bring it up. NB> Probably just too bummed out... or afraid that the White NB> Christmas contingent would lynch him.... We had a high in NB> the 50s on Monday, in the 30s yesterday, and today's was in the NB> 40s... Tomorrow is supposed to be similar to today... and then NB> Friday, back to the 50s.... Then back to 40s and 30s, IIRC and NB> they are guessing correctly... ;) My theory is they have a dart board in the weather office: Party cloudy! High's in the 40's! Extended forecast is too variable to guess! ...Why is Daryl glaring at me?! LIS in a previous message, supposed to be in the upper 40's today and then cooling off for Friday, back in to the 50's for the weekend. Earlier in the weeke the forecast was for rain on Saturday and some snow on Sunday. ...Looks like the snow is on Monday now. BM> ... Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing? NB> Probably because chance is such a flexible thing....? That sounds like a usable answer. :) ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
