June 5 2024 - Horses Amok Update

 

There's a good news story - the fie military horses that ran 'amok' through London, resulting in injuries and blood have all recovered.  Well, except two of them still need operations.  The others are already back to work.  They will take part in the King's birthday parade on June 15.  

And the people who were tossed by the horses?  Oh, they are recovering too, and "will likely return to military service".  That's a bit vague to me.  And only one of the several articles - which all use the press release directly - mentioned a cyclist had injuries.  

You can scroll through almost a dozen updates in the search list, but the "real" trending stories today seem to be these: 

  •  Acolyte Review (the latest Star Wars Movie) in the Guardian - 20K searches
  • Next is Hasley posting a health update that she is lucky to be alive - that's 5,000 searches

The number 1 rank search on Google is for YouTube at 1.3 billion searches.  One site says that monthly, there are 337 million searches for YouTube. So it could easily be well over a few billion over time.  When will a search get to be the googol number - 10 to the 100th.  That question has been asked on Quora.  There are 1.2 trillion searches a year.  The answer from Alon Amit on Quora is THIS.  His short version is "never".

The London horses running amok story barely made a blip in April searches when it happened.  

I found this picture of one of the Japanese Maples in the garden from a few years ago. The trees are larger now, with this beautiful red foliage.  What a background with those rainbow colours of the morning.
