In Portland there is structure referred to as
The Time & Temperature Building. It has a three-sided, four character, four sequence message display at the top of this 14 story building (see photo below).
Two of the display sequences will be some sort of message or ad, the final two sequences are the time and temperature (insert, duh, here). In conjunction with this town landmark is a "time & temperature phone number which provides... you guessed it! The time & temperature! Though I work in a nearby building it's not easy from my vantage point to see the T&T
so at lunch today before venturing out for my noontime walk I dialed the number and was told the time (accurately enough) and the temp was "
56°", cripes! A
ccording to tonight's weather report Portland got up to 60°. So I donned a sweatshirt and headed out. By the time I was on the backside of my trek I had to take the sweatshirt off. Folks were
out and abouts in short sleeves, some in shorts. It was a nice break in what had begun as a
doozy of a winter. I'm sure we'll get back to cold temps and more snow but a couple of days like this and no complaints. Now that's my kind of global warming, Al!
