Google Search as an Omen

Google search term statistics are good for detecting trends. Sometimes they can be a harbinger of disaster. If the predictions are correct, there is the possibility for traffic gridlock all across the United States. Due to her summer job schedule, my daughter is moving to her new college on August 21 instead of move-in day this week. At first I was quite disappointed, as the path of totality is only a couple of hours away from me in normal traffic, but now I see that decision as a blessing in disguise. This is the latest comic from Randall Munroe at xkcd. Go to the comic page to see the hover text.
