08 April 09

April 8th is famous for the following events, for which I wish I had appropriate ties:

• 1879 – Milk was sold in glass bottles for 1st time
• 1955 – birth of Barbara Kingsolver, American novelist
• 1973 – death of Pablo Picasso, Spanish artist and sculptor (b. 1881)

It is also designated for these celebrations:

• All is Ours Day
• Draw a Picture of a Bird Day

Having nothing to match any of the options, I chose to make it a red-character day and wear Bob the Tomato (on my Water Furnace-logoed shirt).
