Of course, generally one uses a three-letter NB>>> abbreviation for a country, so CAN instead of CA, but the end of an NB>>> internet address for Canada will be .ca and I think the other country NB>>> codes are also only two letters as well.... BM>> I tend to spell out mainly because I don't know the other countries' BM>> abbreviations. Well, Austria is AT. :) NB>> So as not to be confused with Australia, which is .au... I also know NB>> that Germany is .de and of course .uk is United Kingdom... :) BM> Yes. My cousin probably would have suggested NK for Austria's postal BM> abbreviation: No Kangaroos! The Austrians do make a joke of being BM> mixed up with Australia: post cards, t-shirts, etc., will have a BM> silhouette of a kangaroo overlaid with the slashed circle and other BM> joke references. Ok for souvenirs, but one would think that for official something more reasonable would be better, like the .at instead... ;) BM>>> I've had the window up here open during the last several days because BM>>> nice and cool, though yesterday got into the upper 70's. NB>>> Today I have the window open... last few days were up in the 80s again, NB>>> but today and tomorrow are mid 70s and high 60s respectively... time NB>>> to cool things off again... ;) BM>> Have the windows open currently as 61ø outside and low-ish humidity -- BM>> they'll be closed probably by late-morning as it gets into the 80's BM>> and eventually 90ø or so. NB>> We've had a cool few days, but now things are steadily warming up thru NB>> this week to be back in the high 80s again by the weekend... at least NB>> the nights will mostly be in the 60s so I'll be able to open up at NB>> night to cool things down again... :) BM> Lately have the windows open in the morning and close up some time in BM> the early afternoon to retain some of the coolness/not let the BM> warm-to-hot air in. We've had recurring patterns of pleasant and then too hot... last night and all day today, it's finally been cool again, so the window's been open, and will stay thru tonight... Tomorrow I'll be closing down mid-morning again, probably... :) BM>> ...Tomorrow they're supposed to be here to BM>> replace the roof from the hail damage -- project has been delayed BM>> almost a week because of weather: I think did rain one day but they BM>> probably had a few days of late starts because of fog and so the roof BM>> they would be working on would have been slippery. NB>> So by now is the roof finally accomplished....? :) Fog might have NB>> been worse to work in than even rain... I'd think with the smaller NB>> droplets and condensation it might make for even more slippery than NB>> rain might have been... :) BM> I'm thinking the fog might be slipperier as attaches to the BM> micro-debris on the shingles whereas rain could wash the gunk off. That, too... :) BM> Anyway, dry when they were here; shingling is done and looks nice. Now BM> just waiting for the trim: gutters, awnings, etc. Got a call yesterday BM> from the coordinating company hired by the insurance company saying BM> there's going to be a wait as running behind. At least the important BM> part is done. As long as it gets done reasonably expeditiously... ;) BM>>> Supposed to get into the mid-80's starting Tuesday, which might be BM>>> 'good timing' as they're supposed to be here Wednesday to reroof due BM>>> to the hail damage. NB>>> I thought that roofers prefered cooler weather to work in... Dry is NB>>> always best, of course... ;) BM>> They might prefer cooler but may not have a choice! NB>> True. BM> Two houses the next block over were having their roofs replaced -- I BM> was 'roasting' just being on grass trimming shrubs! Guess one just has to hope that the roofers are used to working in all kinds of weather.... ;) ttyl neb ....
