This week's theme is "My Favourite Thing About Fall"! This is difficult for me as I associate Autumn (as we call it in Britain!) with endings and have never really liked it as a season! It signals the end of the cricket season (the only sport I was halfway competent at!), the nights become longer than the days, the temperature starts to drop, the rain becomes more persistent, winter isn't far away and no more canal trips until next year!
However, I suppose it isn't all bad - the colours of the leaves are usually gorgeous, it's time for Conkers (conkers are the seeds from Horse Chestnut trees - see this link for further explanation) and in a few weeks time it will be bonfire night with the attendant firework displays. So, not so dismal after all!!
Your Tuesday questions are: -
- Which American industrialist and philanthropist was declared the world's
first billionaire today in 1916?

- Lord Sebastian Coe was born today in 1956 and won Olympic Gold Medals in 1980 and 1984 running over what distance?
