Rain Again??

It looks like we're going to get rain again today and tomorrow and then again on Saturday. I swear this is the wettest summer I've ever seen. One good thing about this summer is that we've had slightly cooler temperatures here in Ontario which make it more tolerable than usual. Sunbathers wouldn't agree with me, though.

One of my saved websites that I visit occasionally is wordorigins.org. I already knew that Ontario was an old Indian word but now I know exactly what it means. Otariyo was the name given to the lake and it meant (iyo) beautiful (otar) lake. The territory surrounding the lake was ultimately named Ontario, too.

It's interesting to find out the origins of everyday words and wordorigins.org is fairly informative. I'm sure there are more sites like this and probably some with longer word lists. It's just a small example of the massive amount of information you can easily gather on the internet.

The way I see it, if it's going to rain then I may as well learn something. Either that or do housework. Learning is my choice.
