Look It Up

Look It Up!

Look it up in the dictionary or encyclopedia (or, for these times, Google) if you want to know something. It’s a good way to learn things; or simply to satisfy your curiosity.

Today I present a new feature in this web site: a “Search here” box in Blogs; and another in Archives. After all, I’ve been posting blogs for years now; with over 2000 published to date. Who wants to comb through all that material to find something? I don’t think I would! Most of us don’t have the time for prolonged searching; and I hope this will make things easier. 

A search box makes more sense than a table of contents; because a blog’s title doesn’t necessarily indicate the blog’s subject matter. For example, how many people will guess that Sturmey Archer Hub — a piece of hardware — has anything to do with a century ride?

I wondered what the weather will be like tomorrow; aside from hot, of course. I had to look it up! Another heat advisory; but at least tomorrow’s doesn’t go into effect until noon. But I’ll still get plenty hot, as I have an afternoon appointment with the dentist. There’s also a 30% chance of T-storms; so I’ll have to pack along the poncho. We still need rain; but I hope it waits until I’m back home.
