Today I learned...

Today I learned that the postal code for the province of Quebec was PQ before 1991 when it was changed to QC which is the one we use today.

I only found this out because I was checking the tracking on one of my packages and it said it was in Mirabel PQ. I was like “PQ? Where the heck is that!?”

Thanks for helping me out Google.

Today I learned that Canada’s Wonderland (a theme park in Toronto) opened today. Not for rides but as a vaccination clinic. A good use of a large open area in my opinion.

The park has been closed since the season ended in the fall of 2019.

Today I learned that succulents need 6 hours of sunlight and if they don't get it, they grow tall and skinny or dangly branches. They grow to reach for the sun!

TIL about the legend where famous 1930s blues guitarist Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil and became an overnight success.

Also, I'm watching the Supernatural episode talking about the legend right now. Didn't know it's based on a real person.

TIL that orcas (AKA killer whales) attack great white sharks and are threatening their population.
