Good morning, today is 4/20, the annual international celebration of marijuana.

Fun Fact of the day:

Denver, Colorado, has a Mile Marker that reads “419.99” because of sign thieves.

In 2014, the Colorado Department of Transportation replaced mile marker 420 on Interstate 70, east of Denver, with a 419.99 mile marker to deter all the would-be thieves who’d like a green 420 sign for their bedroom wall.

Weather forecast according to Environment Canada:

The weather is just getting better and better.

The pedestrian, a young child, has since been pronounced dead.
