One of the biggest adjustments I had in South Korea was personal space! I always felt like I was moving, dodging, backing away from people there!

A very rough / easy conversion from C to F is to double the C number, then add 32.

We're about to head out to LA for the Bills game!! But I'll try to remember to write tomorrow. Happy Birthday.

While its on my mind ... try to put Füssen, Germany on your list and visit Neuschwanstein Castle (https://www.neuschwanstein.de/englisch/tourist/).

So here is mine.

On a mission trip to Central America, I was providing medical care to a young boy (6 or so years old) who had pneumonia. I had given him a 10 day course of antibiotics. I knew that many people took medicine until they felt better and then kept the rest for later so I wanted him to be sure and complete the course. I told him in my broken Spanish to complete the medicine to be mujer. I should have said mejor. His eyes got big and and wide. Luckily, his mother was at bedside and told me that I had just told him that if he took took all of his medicine, he would be a woman.

My favorite conversion tools are Siri or Alexa! No math needed, as in “Hey Siri, convert 19 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit.” And as long as you remember 24, it always a safe setting for any HVAC system!
