Today I learned:
1) The idiom "ride 'em hard and put 'em away wet." It refers to horse riding, when you ride a horse hard and then put it away without grooming or taking care of it, and basically means adding insult to injury.
2) Fog that forms in the central valley of California between November 1st and March 31st is called "Tule fog", and it's pretty intense fog.
3) Online hotel reservations have massive profit margins. In fact, one of the primary goals of airline booking agencies is to get you to book hotels, as a booked hotel makes something like 10 times the amount of money as a booked flight. So next time you're booking a flight, watch for hotel advertisements and see just how much they want you to buy that hotel.
