Sunrise

We had a prolonged drought that produced too few clouds to make a photogenic sunrise. Then we had a week of overcast - too many clouds to even see if the sun rose.

Today - some clouds, some sun, and a few pictures. Here is one:


It's always good to be here for yet another sunrise, just sayin'.

I've already seen most of my sunrises so it's always good to see another one.

They're talking 40º today, which is nice. Real nice.

Excellent - I hope the thaw continues. It is 42 here now, the forecast says it will hit 75 tomorrow. The shock of that may be more than I can take.

Hey - how did you get that little "degree" symbol in there - very cool!

AllenS said...

Click your Num Lock, then depress Alt (hold down) type 167. Go ahead, and try it.

Degree symbol.

What are you typing on?

PC, Character map

Mac, Character viewer [emoji and symbols]

Phones are a whole 'nuther story. It depends on your model and version.

My Galaxy 6 is the weirdest of weird. I despise this thing and its obnoxious tiny cleverness.

On its keypad, pathetic tiny thing designed for insects, I must switch it from alpha/numeric qwerty keyboard to the symbol keyboard. Alas, the degree sign does not show.

Within the symbol keyboard, touch the 1/2 key.

Now, you'd expect that to type a 1/2 in your text, but, nooooOOOOOOOOOoooo .

It opens a new screen now named 2/2 that offers the degree symbol along with other symbols having to do with currency and cards and Spanish punctuation.

The degree symbol is of vital importance. So you must learn your device. If all of this fails then open your computer and ask it. There are YouTube videos that explain this. Most will not apply to your model, but they do give ideas how your model might work. For example, you might change your settings having to do with keyboard from English to Samsung or to International.

Here in Blogger comments editing you can type in the code for the degree sign.

HTML symbols always begin with & symbol

And always end with ; symbol.

So all you have to remember that's new is #176

So then without any spaces between them, & #176 ;

Let's try, I am now typing this excellent code without any spaces °

I have a Windows based computer and none of those are working. There appears to be at least six degrees of separation between me and the tiny bubble.

Windows.

You'll find this character map immensely useful for all sorts of things, tildes, diaeresis, accents, registered trademark, copyright, paragraph, currency, section, double angles, musical notes, you name it.
