October 1st is the 275th day of the year. There are 91 days remaining until the end of the year.

Adrian Olmstead from Blenheim is $70 million dollars richer.

He was the only person with a winning ticket in the April 14th Lotto Max draw.

The new millionaire plans to buy a new home so his children have plenty of room to play and will take care of his mother. He also wants to splurge on a couple of “toys” for the family such as an RV, so they can travel across the country.

No positive cases of COVID-19 reported by the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit Wednesday.

One case has recovered, so there are now 3 active cases and no one is in hospital locally. There were only 6 new cases reported in September for C-K.

Ontario reported 625 cases across the province. 78% of the new positive cases are in Toronto, Ottawa, York and Peel.

The Toronto Blue Jays 2020 postseason is over, it lasted about 36 hours.

MLB announced that a limited number of fans will be allowed into the National League Championship Series later this month, as well as the World Series. About 11,500 tickets will be sold for each game, which is roughly 28% capacity.

Of course, fans will have to wear masks, except when they’re eating or drinking at their seats, which seems like it’ll be very difficult to enforce.

The seats will be grouped in “pods” of four, which will be “socially-distanced” from one another. All the unused seats will be tied back, including the first six rows, within 20 feet of the field. In fact, fans won’t be allowed to the lowest level, which is reserved for baseball personnel, including players and managers.

This was an interesting fundraiser.

A guy biked from Poo Poo Point in Washington state to Pee Pee Creek in Ohio over the course of 36 days to raise money for charity. That’s over 4000 kms.

He said he decided to take on the “meme ride” as a way to raise money for the Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation, which provides humanitarian aid to the war-torn country.

He says the journey isn’t over either, he plans to bike to Pee Pee Island in Newfoundland and Labrador next.
