29 August 19

Many events happened on this day in history, of course! It's the birthday of philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) and musician Wilhelm Hieronymus Pachelbel (1686-1764) (elder son of Johann), the patent date for the zipper (1893), and the date when Michael Farady discovered electromagnetic induction (1831). For me that collage of "multicolored events" is topped by having lunch today with 4-year-old Nathanael David Howland Kleppinger! So I'm wearing my new "crayons" tie, a Father's Day gift from Beth. From the tag on the back of the tie I learned that the "Serpentine" squiggle in Crayola's logo is part of their trademark!
