Japanese Rain Goggles

As a freelance writer, I pay attention to what people are searching for on the internet, trying to find ideas on something to write about. Last night when I couldn't sleep, I turned on my computer and spotted the search term Japanese Rain Goggles.


I had never heard about Japanese rain goggles before. It sounded interesting. If I was interested enough to type it into the search bar to read up on them, I thought perhaps other people would click on a link bringing them to a Japanese Rain Goggles story to see what it was all about.


Why are People Searching for Japanese Rain Goggles?


You're probably wondering the same thing I was thinking. Why the sudden interest in Japanese rain goggles? Well, it turns out that in a recent episode of Two and a Half Men, the goggles were mentioned. I didn't see the episode, so I wasn't convinced that the writers of the show just made up the term. There had to be something, somewhere about Japanese Rain Goggles.


So I kept searching.


Whacky Inventions and Japanese Rain Goggles


As I searched for Japanese Rain Goggles, I imagined I could remember Charlie Browns dog Snoopy sitting atop his dog house with his scarf flying and his pilots goggles with little miniature windshield wipers clearing the rain from the lenses. Could these be the Japanese Rain Goggles I was looking for?


Obviously not, because I searched and searched and could find no information on rain goggles, let alone Japanese rain goggles.


While I managed to find a pair of military issue sun, wind and rain goggles for sale on ebay, I was never able to find information on Japanese Rain Goggles, except for all the articles saying that they just don't exist.


Now, if this isn't an SEO article, I don't know what is. Let's see what it does for traffic.

Even a frustrated freelancer faces the time management problem of working to pay the bills and struggling to put aside enough money to pay for the perfect gifts for loved ones.


We want our homes to be cozy and inviting. We want to enjoy the company of friends and families. On the other hand, every hour spent away from the computer means less output that satisfies our clients as well as our bank accounts.


I'm taking advantage of this juggling of priorities to share previously written articles of Holiday Tips. Hope you find something helpful that will make the upcoming holiday season less stressful and more enjoyable.

Forcing Bulbs for Late Winter Cheer

Grow a Spring Bulb Garden Indoors

Forcing Bulbs - Katie Tardiff

Blooms from forced bulbs, for gifts or to keep, can fill the home with the feeling of springtime months before the soil starts to thaw.

While some people like to hang on to winter for as long as possible, many are tired of the season and yearn for signs that spring will finally come long before the first blooms of the crocus peep up through the melting snow. Bulbs planted in inside containers in the fall can brighten the home by the time the New Year's confetti is vacuumed from the rug.

New Freelance Danger: Cooked Testicles

Freelance writers have a lot to worry about, but now those men among us also have to deal with the worry of “scorched scrotums".


No, I'm not repeating information I heard on the late night talk shows. Real reporting done on real scientific research has brought to light the dangers to the nether regions when a laptop is used for as little as 10 to 15 minutes.


Now, I don't know how they found volunteers willing to have thermometers hooked up to their scrotums while they used their laptop, but in the interest of science and saving testicles, enough men were willing to do it to run a successful test.


A male friend I contacted for reaction advises that men watch out for the cooling fan, too, but declined to give more information when I asked him if this suggestion came from actual past experience. Read More
