For instance, I was searching for images to use for tomorrow’s blog post about a tv sitcom that ran from 1987-1995(ish), and there were almost no useable pictures online – but it’s such a clear memory in my head that I think that it MUST be on the internet.

Now I just need to find a replacement needle, it’s only been a year of looking so far.
