Good Morning #Canada
Normally, I'm posting about history or geography or trivia, but the July tourism numbers are dominating the news. We "Nasty" Canadians are choosing not to visit the USA, and trips across the border continue to drop month after month. At the end of 2024, U.S. tourism revenue from Canadians was projected to increase 16%. Surprise! Losses by USA businesses are already estimated to be in excess of $20B USD, and some states are bracing for government cuts due to a decrease in sales taxes.

I have Googled Zoë Straub more than anyone alive. My autistic hyperfixation has turned search engines into shrines and every obscure web page into treasure. It’s weird, it’s wonderful, it’s like my neurons are doing synchronized swimming in Zoë Straub trivia, and honestly, I wouldn’t trade this brain circus for anything.
OMG, I just realized I’m #ActuallyAutistic, what even, I …
For people mad about MX flags 🇲🇽 in LA: do you know where Six Flags gets its name? (Hint: short for "Six Flags over Texas", referring to the six countries that governed TX. A good trivia question is what those are. Can't go far in TX w/out seeing the 6.)

Here is yet another fun bit of watch trivia. Before World War I, wrist watches were considered a bit too dainty for men. They were considered more of a ladies accessory, often referred to as wristlets. Men typically carried pocket watches, which were seen as more masculine and refined.
Some Friday Night ÖPNV trivia: What local and regional trains in Europe have First Class? Only trains where Interrail is valid count. #BahnBubble
I’ll start with the Leonardo Express, Roma Termini–Fiumicino Aeroporto, which has *only* First Class. (Which comfort-wise is second class, though.)

Since you all seemed to like the Roman numeral thing, perhaps you would like some more watch trivia in the form of a 'magic trick'?
Go to your search engine of choice and do an image search for: wrist watch.
Every [well… almost every!] analogue dial watch displayed back to you in the results will show the same time as my watch shows right now, as I write this†. 🧙🪄
† I am based in the CEST (Central European Summer Time) [UTC 2] time zone.

Today, the full-moon day of the fourth month ("aashaada") of the #Hindu luni-solar calendar, is "guru poornimaa" in #India and elsewhere.
In #Sanskrit, "guru" is teacher; "poornimaa" is full moon (literally "state of fullness"). The day honors teachers. So, as they say, "shree gurubhyoh namah", or "salutation to the teacher". 🙏
#Trivia: This year's "guru poornimaa" falls on Thursday ("guru waasara"), the weekly day of teachers. There's more to the weekday name "guru waasara", but that's for a rainy day. 🌈
