Is Googling Fun?

"If you Google ‘Zerg Rush’ Google will eat up the search results."

So I gave it a try and small o's came across the screen and 'chewed up' the search results, one by one, and then completed with 2 giant Gs.  I find that Google enabled an Easter egg for the search query “zerg rush”, which would launch a playable game with small “o” characters that destroy search results if they are not clicked with the mouse pointer.  

How many of these little games are there on Google?

According to Anne Lu of IBTimes:

"Many of us agree that Google is the best and most powerful search engine there is. It’s so widely used that people “Google” something, but they don’t “Yahoo!” it.  It has a clean and simple homepage (no annoying ads), and is fast and user friendly. But probably the best thing about Google is that it is simply fun. Here are ten of the best Google tricks, tips, Easter eggs, and secrets that make online searching cool."

Our pictures today give a sense of 
the wonderful Thanksgiving weekend weather we had -  big blue skies with clouds over the vineyards.

Turn Around and It's All Different

Something I notice in Niagara is how different the weather is from place to place. Yesterday I was in St. Catharines with pretty skies of a sun behind transparent clouds, and when I got back to Grimsby it was stormy clouds crowding the horizon and speeding along.

I was in Niagara Falls a few weeks ago and at Queenston Heights took some pictures of Brock's Monument.  You can see how different the sky and clouds are from these two opposite angles.
