Tin Can Day From being used as a solution for storing food during wars to first being patented in the UK in 1810, tin cans have a rich history. During the war-hit times in the Napolean era, the French Directory offered a 12,000 franc prize for a breakthrough in the preservation of food.
This opportunity was seized by Nicholas Appert, a Paris chef who dedicated his life to the groundbreaking invention of tin cans. Later on, in 1810, British merchant Peter Durand received the first patent for tin cans to preserve food. Three years later, Bryan Donkin and John Hall set up the first commercial canning factory in England. Hindustan Times.

In the past 24 hours...

My brother is in the hospital with stroke indications. He sounds fine, but will remain a few days for tests.

Our mail delivery resumed after a full week of no mail following my "visit" to the Post Office this morning. No idea what that was about. Got a week's worth of mail today.

My friend is about to be subpoenaed in NYC by Alvin Bragg regarding some dubious book collector deals years ago. Not sure if they will be a witness or a defendant.

I voted, writing in Joe Biden.

Grocery shopping this morning.

Ordered some stuff online.

Now it's time to feed the wild birds.
