Things I learned lately 9 Apr

• CKGM-FM, the precursor to CHOM-FM in Montreal, switched to album-oriented rock (AOR) on 28 October 1969. The new format opened with the song 'Here comes the sun' by the Beatles.
  
  
  
• A restaurant in Ontario sent a bill to the Premier of Ontario for the beer that would spoil because a new lockdown decision was made with no advanced notice. 
• Pelee Island Ontario Canada is further south than the northern border of California.
• Manhattan and Salt Lake City are at roughly the same latitude.
• In America there are a lot more Peeps flavours. They include chocolate pudding, cotton candy, root beer float, blue raspberry, orange crush, hot tamale spicy cinnamon, fruit loops, sour watermelon, fruit punch, party cake
• In Bermuda, the roof of each home is mandated by law, to catch and redirect rain into underground cisterns that serve as islanders' primary source of freshwater.
• The term 'coffee break' became popular through a Pan-American Coffee Bureau advertising campaign in 1952 which urged consumers, "Give yourself a Coffee-Break — and Get What Coffee Gives to You." John B. Watson, a behavioural psychologist who worked with Maxwell House later in his career, helped to popularize coffee breaks within the American culture.
• 8-track tapes have a loop-play function, where after the end the tape loops back and plays from the beginning again. The 8-track version of the Pink Floyd album "Animals" was slightly altered. A guitar solo connecting the first and the last song on the album was added.
• The plural of beef is beeves. I kid you not.
