At my hosts' house from recent trip...These catch my imagination-how they work to predict the temperature; sometimes more accurate than the people at the Weather Channel...
They come with a legend that helps determine the meaning of the rise and fall of the different "globes".

© David K. Edwards. As would nearly everybody, at first glance I assumed and later always believed that the airplane depicted on this thing was a Boeing 314 Clipper. No question. Exactly what you also thought, right? But recently when I looked closer, the tail is all wrong! As is that strange undercarriage! Oh, yes, it looks WEIRD! Mysterious, even. Please oh please help me! I have owned this thermometer since I was a child, and I cannot even identify the airplane! Help, oh help! Is there no succor? Is there no balm in Gilead?
8 Years ago on San Francisco Bay. This was a great sunset and it warms me up when the VT thermometer sinks to 20 below zero F.
A couple of second to take the pictures, about 1 hours and a half finding the bits to make it I've turned every draw in the house to find the barometer that was winking at me from the wall all the time....
There is a dress code for every temperature! :-)
