Great to hear that, Howard. Did you pick up on which units people were using in their conversations in various contexts (temperature, short and long distances, personal height and weight, etc.)?
Sounds like you had a nice trip, too. :-) Ezra ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howard R Ressel (DOT)" <[email protected]> To: "USMA" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 2, 2014 7:17:13 AM Subject: [USMA:54365] RE: Canada's Wonderland Wow I was in Toronto and saw very little if any US Customary, it was all metric. I saw ad's and signs and products metrically only labeled. There is a lot of construction and the newspapers talked about square meters and square hectares of new space being added. I didn't check the real estate ad's though. IKEA was doing a gimmick thing in Eaton Center. Push a button get a prize: A metric only tape measure with IKEA specific measurements on it for some of their products. Too me awhile but I changed my odometer to km for the entire trip, it felt great.
