The endless summer thing sounds good to me, but less so to my Husky, who wants endless winter!

Actually, I enjoy having seasons, although there are times in winter riding my bike when I look forward to the end of the cold.

A meter IS about 3 feet (~40 inches).

A square meter = 1 meter X 1 meter,

or 3.3 ft x 3.3 ft = 10.76 ft2.

Easy rule of thumb is ft2 = m2 x 11 minus a little bit. So...

28 x 10 = 280

+ 28 x 1 = 28

280 + 28 = 308 minus a little = about 300 ft2.

Now, a train leaves Sydney traveling north at 60 miles per hour... ;-)
