Throwback Thursday #31 : Baskin-Robbins 31 flavor list of ice cream 1971
Here's the 31 flavor list from Baskin-Robbins back in a 1971 ad. For a more recent take on their flavors, visit their website at https://www.baskinrobbins.com/en. Just know that the online menu of flavors may or may not match the flavors at your local store. We recently did a taste test and thought that Baskin-Robbins has some of the best mint chocolate chip ice cream around. It was much better than any of the 1/2 dozen or so brands we bought from the store-some of which were more expensive than Baskin-Robbins!

Throwback Thursday #99 : Organization Solicitation
Many organizations rely on fundraising and pledges and contributions and the like to build, maintain, and operate functions. I just never realized how expensive it was to operate even back in 1969. I had forgotten too how women went by their husband's name with Mrs. added to it. Now most organizations list the individual's name and there is no Mr, Mrs, Ms or title added.

Movies in A and B for children and Adventure for adults
We have so many movies...and you can place any of them on hold! Looking for a new title or an old favorite or something just new to watch? Check the catalog online. Many local libraries probably have literally hundreds of titles of movies you have yet to see throughout their systems just like at the Salt Lake County Library System. Your library is a perfect place to help you access new and old favorites in movies, music, magazines, and books!

Throw Back Thursday #18 : Dogs, Animal Control, Salt Lake City History, 1961
Here are parts of an old brochure on being a good dog neighbor. It was published for Salt Lake City Animal Control as a public service by the Ralston Purina Co. It does have a copyright on the brochure for 1961 and I would guess it's accurate based on this online comparison: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/101633401. It fits the criteria and is 9 pages in length in its entirety.

Follow-up on drain cleaning
This lovely hairball strand is from a bathroom sink that has a strainer basket. Stuff still slips through so snaking the drain occasionally is definitely a good thing.
