I was low all day yesterday, and so was the barometric pressure––which, I don't even know what that means.
LMGTFY, self:
"Wait! I can't die! I don't know which way Earth rotates!"
Okay, no, I checked, and I did know that: as everybody knows, on a human-made globe, Earth rotates left to right (eastward).
Looking that up, I also stumbled upon Science Focus from the BBC, which is busting with things I need to know before I die, such as,
"How many bananas would I need to eat to become radioactive?"
Not that directions apply to outer space. "A Cartographic History of What’s Up"

LMGTFY, self:
"Barometric pressure indicated the weight of a column of air. Approaching storms and wind cause barometric pressure to decrease. Rising pressure indicates fair weather."How did I live to almost sixty (me, almost 60?!?!) without knowing that? Ergh. Even if I live thirty more years in my right mind, I will die NOT KNOWING so many things.
