Things I learned lately 15 May

• David Gilmour of Pink Floyd fame, heard Kate Bush's earliest demos and helped her get a proper demo tape made.
• If you upload a picture or scan of a document into Google Drive, then right click it and open it with Google Docs, it will perform an OCR (Optical character recognition) routine and try to parse the text into the new Google doc. I even tried handwriting on paper and it did an OK job.
• Google can not only OCR text into one of its doc formats, but Google search can read text in any pictures you store in Google Photos and Google Drive.
• Georgia and Wisconsin have allowed many thousands of teens get their driver's license without having to do the road test to clear a backlog of pending licenses.
• Single person households in Sweden, as a percentage of total households, was over 50% in 2016. The EU average was 33%.
• AMA says if you haven't done your seasonal tire swap yet, as a perk for being a member, they can send a crew to do the wheel swap at your house. For $139.99
