I had just driven home, it was around midnight in the dead of Montreal winter, I had been visiting my friend, Jeff, across town, and the thermometer on the front porch read minus 40 degrees -- and don't bother asking if that's Celsius or Fahrenheit, minus 40 is where the two scales meet -- it was very cold.
Acababa de chegar á casa era sobre media noite, en pleno inverno en Montreal. Fora visitar un amigo ó outro lado da cidade e o termómetro do soportal sinalaba 40 graos baixo cero. E non preguntedes se eran graos Celsius ou Fahrenheit porque a esa temperatura coinciden as dúas escalas. Ía moito frío.
