Good Morning! On this day in 1930, the 3M company began selling one of its most iconic products, Scotch Tape, developed by engineer Richard Drew, the same man who invented masking tape.
Feeling sticky? Thankfully, fall weather is on the way, and here are some maps showing where you can take in the most colorful displays of fall foliage.

Man Arrested for Planned Attack on NY Jews
Canadian authorities have arrested a 20-year-old Pakistani national for a planned mass shooting of Jews in Brooklyn. Shahzeb Jadoon was detained Wednesday in Quebec.
He planned the shooting on behalf of the Islamic State for October 7 to mark the first anniversary of the Hamas attacks in Israel.
Boeing’s Starliner successfully returned unmanned to Earth Friday. The spacecraft delivered astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the International Space Station in June, but due to issues on Boeing’s first crewed test flight, NASA determined it should return to Earth without its crew.
NASA commissioned a SpaceX craft to bring the astronauts home in February. Their mission was initially planned to last about eight days.
Europeans dominate the world in beer consumption per capita, according to a study of 2022 data. Czechia tops the list for the 30th consecutive year, consuming 188.5 liters of beer per capita—almost 90 liters more than Austria, at number two.
The average Czech drinks more than one bottle of beer daily.
The top nine countries are all in Europe, with the African nation of Namibia claiming the tenth spot. The U.S. comes in at 31, and incidentally, Americans rank European beers as their favorites.

Somalia is facing a devastating combination of natural disasters, global conflicts, widespread poverty, and disease outbreaks. East Africa has just endured its worst drought in 40 years, leaving tens of millions without access to clean water, wiping out millions of livestock, and destroying crops. With domestic food production crippled, Somalia has relied heavily on imports—90% of its wheat coming from Russia and Ukraine—until those shipments stopped.
Now, two in five children in Somalia suffer from acute malnutrition, and cholera is spreading in some regions. The food crisis, compounded by global humanitarian aid being redirected to Europe and the Middle East, has created a perfect storm, leading to a sharp rise in child malnutrition.
We’re asking the Flyover Community to join us in partnering with World Concern to help get emergency nutrition packs (a peanut paste fortified with nutrients), water, and hygiene products to those with the most need.
