My wife is in a nursing home in New York City (closest place where her
particular disease can be treated) and I go there on the train every week
and take her out in a wheelchair.

 

Today we were southbound on Madison Avenue somewhere in the 90s. There is a
small hardware store along the way and they had a scale in the window. It
was an analog scale (step on it and a pointer moves around). The dial had kg
on the outside, prominently in white, and lb on the inside, less
prominently, in gray.

 

I thought of buying it but I already have a digital scale that indicates kg
(in 0.05 kg increments) if I have the switch at the bottom set correctly, to
kg and not lb. (My friend in England has a digital scale with three
settings: kg, lb, st.)
