I learned today, after wondering for years, what the little black spots on windshields are called and what they are for. Basically, the black band around the windshield is to provide a better adhesive for attaching the windshield and the dots provide a more aesthetically pleasing transition from the black strip to the clear glass. They're made of a ceramic compound called frit. They also help dissipate heat. Often there are black dots above the rearview mirror, between the visors, that act as a sun shade to a small degree.

I have to try this just to see how it works. I am using Standard Notes to write this blog.

I need to know how the lines and paragraphs are displayed. Also, I will need to decide what to base my blog on. I have several interests, like programming, learning about universal consciousness, travel, etc. I don't know that I can combine them all into one blog, but I don't yet know if there is a way to use tags or folders or categories or something like that. So, we'll just see where this takes me.
