True, it did not rain when I came for a visit. Instead, I was harrassed by the lions in the Colosseum and the Forum. At least they like it when it's hot and dry.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I still remember what they told us:
"Ok, I want to see some decent sacking and looting activities! Don't stop for anybody or anything! Feel free to burn down buildings when you are done! In case anybody asks, say we are the Vandals!"
The Vandals still have the bad name up until today.
Anyway, I always thought the Romans took good care of their lions[^].

When I went to Tunisia - it rained harder than it had for the past 20 years, they said.

Around here, in the US South, a lot of guys go around wearing shorts year-round, snow and ice and sub-freezing temperatures be damned. I don't get it, but maybe those advertisers are seeing this in their data.

When do you ever get "snow and ice and sub-freezing temperatures" in the US South?
|
|
|
|

Um, every year. Certainly not in Florida, though they've had all three on rare occasions. But in Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, Arkansas, northern Alabama and Georgia, yeah, every year.

But how long does that last? Enough to go for a wardrobe change halfway through the day...?

I wish! Here in Tennessee, we've had 6 or more inches that stayed on the ground for weeks, with temps that stayed in the single digits (Farenheit) for a week or more. That's infrequent, but not rare. Our winters always dip into the teens, twenties, thirties for days and nights on end. Two years ago I had 8 inches of snow in my yard, and it stayed for about a week.
The southern US is not in the tropics, some of it is subtropical (barely), but temperate.

I have pictures somewhere taken around the house where there's roughly those same numbers worth of snow on the ground, only measured in feet, not inches. Good times.

Well Cairns is in the southern hemisphere and I sit here in shorts and Tshirt. So you need to ad how far from the equator you are to the algorithm.
Mind you last week was trakkie daks and ugh boots.

Well, I did worry about it being a bit obscure (underused might be a better word as it's quite a good one), but I thought that I could balance that with an easyish clue. My thinking basically went along the lines of "OK, the theme is proverbs, what else is "book" going to be ... ?"
But yes, it's hard to get the difficulty right with the thematic ones but I'm sure we'll get better with practice.

Been developing my UWP on a desktop; no touch. But can move it between monitors and large TV screen no problem.
Got a lower range Surface Go yesterday (8GB 128SSD) to see how it would look; handle touch.
"Side-loaded" the app today and it's ... BEAUTIFUL!
Scales down while (seeming) to show more (?) Can still scale "up" again on the Surface if it's too small.
Solid device. Windows Home 1803 (out of S mode). Remote desktop. Sharing. etc.
