As planned, I got my hair cut 💇 and I feel a whole lot less shaggy. I dropped off my dry cleaning.🕴Going to stop at Hannaford this evening for some food, and maybe some oven cleaner or other grocery-store style degreaser to clean the camp stove. Then I will re-assemble it this evening, and maybe go down to the park.

On this day in 1963, U.S. President John F.

And pastry too. Also, The Universal Product Code is scanned for the first time in 1974 to sell a package of Wrigley’s chewing gum at the Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio. UPC are so handy, kind of fun to scan into your phone with the lookup code app.
