In The News:

 - National Hair Day gives the nod to all the styles, products, tools and people who keep our hair healthy and looking its best. When the clothes don’t fit, or you’re running late, it’s always nice to know your hair looks great.

 - TBT. 1982: The first compact disc player went on sale for $625.

 - Moose visits school. An Idaho middle school had to devise a special plan to release students from the building when the campus played host to an unexpected guest — a moose. Coeur d’Alene Public Schools said in a Facebook post that the moose wandered onto the Woodland Middle School campus Tuesday afternoon and decided to stick around for a while. The district said the animal did not show any signs of interest in the humans on campus.

 - Subway Bread. An Irish court has ruled that Subway bread can’t be called “bread” because it contains too much sugar. · Under Ireland’s Value-Added Tax Act of 1972, the Subway bread wouldn’t be tax-exempt because it’s not considered a staple due to its sugar content. The bread’s sugar content is five times more than the qualifying limit and the ruling was made on the white and wholegrain bread. In 2014 Subway removed the start of the flour whitening agent azodicarbonamide which is banned in the European Union and Australia and also used in the manufacturing of yoga mats and carpet underlay.

The deals come as parents say they’re at their wits’ end working from home while their kids attempt to remotely learn under the same roof.

 - Forget the leaf blower. It’s the must-have power tool of autumn: the electric or gas-powered leaf blower. A real time-saver, right? Not so, says fitness researcher David Powell. Powell says a typical homeowner saves no more time using a leaf blower over a good, large leaf rake — and raking is better for you since you’re burning calories and working a dozen or more muscle groups.

 - National Coffee Day was earlier this week, and today is International Coffee Day. [Which means Solar System Coffee Day is coming soon.]
