I didn't know either, and I am surprised too. @Adam we're not Americans, what's surprising about us not knowing?! lmao

I kind of figured seeing as Canada has multiple time zones and lines running N and S that separate them, that it would also be common knowledge that those same lines extend downwards into other countries.

It's nearly the same thing as Canada's time zones, which is why I'm surprised a lot of Canadians don't know the US is separated as such.

Huh so even in Canada that happens. I feel like I should know this because I get calls from all over country but I guess since most of each province is the same some generalization is made that I don't  notice these exceptions. Wonder why MST moves so far into BC.

 

Yeah yeah yeah, us Torontonians think we're the centre of the universe

TIL not everyone "holds" the mmr vaccine in the same way. Apparently, the vaccination's immunity can last from 24 hours to forever, depending on who you are and the only way to see if it's still working for you is a blood test. Puts a whole new perspective on herd immunity lol

It's the same here too. My god, the ignorance of bike riders is astounding. They have designated lanes to ride in, yet still insist on being 4 or 5 abreast causing traffic to bank up. They wonder why they get abused....

...what a pizookie is.
A pizookie is your favorite cookie made in a pizza shaped tin. Today at 'BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse' I consumed the cookies n' cream and double chocolate pizookie topped with vanilla bean ice cream, and a cookies n' cream mousse. If only I knew how to say "yum" in all of the languages in the world..

 

Pizookie inside!
