Things I learned lately 20 August

• Tim Hortons has 199 outlets in China, but they want to get to 2,750 in 5 years.
• Certain places in the world still buy microfiche.
  
  
  
• In a secluded woodland near Toronto, there is a hidden cabin that "disappears" into the trees because it's fully clad in mirrored steel. The exact location is a secret, and will only be shared with guests once they've booked a reservation to stay at the cabin. Arcana Micro Cabin Retreat.
• Houston's Katy Freeway is 20 lanes wide in places.
• For the first time on record, rain has been recorded on the summit of Greenland — a location where precipitation has previously always fallen as snow or ice.
• Florida now accounts for 1 in 5 new Covid cases in the US.
• Oksana Chusovitina is the only female gymnast ever to compete in eight Olympic Games. She competed in Tokyo at the age of 46.
• People who work at the food bank would like you to know that they don't buy idea that 'people will abuse the food bank and take food they don't need'. 
• The town I grew up in (Deux Montagnes) was originally part of Ste Eustache and tried to break away from that parish under the name Le Village du Bel-Air. It eventually succeeded in its split, becoming Ste Eustache-sur-le-lac, then Two Mountains (Deux Montagnes).
• Olympic medals were awarded 8 times to Canadian men in 2021. As opposed to 74 times to Canadian women. FYI, I counted a team sport by individual members of the team.
