In other news, we are looking at 95 degrees today.

Way cool. I can't see temperatures myself. Do they look like colors or something? The thermometer says it's 82 here - which I know by reading a Web page not by actually asking the thermometer myself. But it looks pretty much the same outside as it did when it was 40.

It would be so cool to see temperatures.

Green is cool. So is blue. Green grass, blue sea. Red is hot.

"Way cool. I can't see temperatures myself. Do they look like colors or something?"

Galileo invented a way to see temperatures. 'Face has one of his rigs.

It's a tube with floating glass balls of different density. Depending on the temperature, all or none of the balls will be floating. It's very visual.

You can tell at a glance what the temperature is, but it is a little slow to respond.
