Leaving in a bit, just got to return that firework to Walmart. I hope they take it back so I can buy a smaller set of them. Then I also need to Blueberry Muffin mix I forgot to buy. Wish me luck. And get to work in a few hours. Then off to Moose River Plains.

On this day in 1971, Ohio ratifies the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, reducing the voting age to 18, thereby putting the amendment into effect. Also in 1934, The Night of the Long Knives, Adolf Hitler’s violent purge of his political rivals in Germany, takes place. Fortunately, we only have obnoxious rhetoric to that impact in our country today.

Been thinking about getting a new cellphone. Just another basic model under $50 but it must have an FM radio and preferably more memory and a better camera. I want a phone I can do more Instagram on and get nice pictures of my summer vacation and also be able to install Uber so when I’m stuck late at work I can easily get a ride home after 11:30 and not have to worry about hitting a deer due to drowsy driving.
