29 degrees C? Why that's only a smidge over 302 Kelvin! It's a balmy 95 degrees F here today. Did I get all the temperature scales in?

There's always ev (electron volts). While ordinarily used in high-energy physics, it is always to fun to convert ambient earthly temperature to ev - makes you feel a lot cooler when it is hot.

29 degrees C = (only) .026 ev. I'm feeling cold already.

Great pictures, Gentlefolk. Thank you for posting them, and for the commentary. It's great to put so many faces with names/monikers. You have given me a bad case of Harpenden envy. Maybe some day ...
