Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 11, 2015

Personally, I’m constantly stunned by my ability to Google all the knowledge in the whole wide world….Gotta admit, that’s pretty cool…. So anyway, I feel better off…..Seriously, all the knowledge in the world, without having to go to the library and plow though the drawers of index cards to find things. And now all of it is at my fingertips and my whim…How cool is that? I feel much better off….

Contentment comes from experiencing failure along the way, the agony of the effort involved and the satisfaction of having accomplished something that was previously unachievable. Half the fun is in the journey.

Don’t look it up, Janis. Make it up. It’s more fun that way.

The problem is that wrong answers come up just as easily as correct ones. If you want to know who that actress is, then no harm done. But if you want to know the correct torque to secure the brake lines on your car faulty info can be deadly.

Like your juice so much, you give it a name, huh? Well, whatever floats your boat…

Every time my husband or I google something I often wonder what we used to do in the ‘old days’ before computers and of course the smart phone.
