Single-digit date codes on post-1954 Owens-Illinois bottle bases

We have post-1954 "I-inside-O" logos

Lockhart & Hoenig and other sources seem to indicate that single-digit date codes persisted after the 1940s on some bottle types until the 70s or even early 80s, but I cannot find any info to narrow it down further than that.

On the amber one I'm almost convinced there is a 4 between the logo and the 6, so perhaps it was a "46" date code with the 4 taken out for 1956, 1966, or 1976 date?

The plant codes of 20 and 21, if correct, are for Oakland and Portland. These were found together on private property near Salem, OR

Shout out to moms in recovery everywhere

Staying sober for yourself and your children doesn't only give you a chance to have a loving family, it helps our whole society by lessening the collateral damage and neglect of addiction. There are some women at in my life who are putting in immense work to stay on the path of recovery and make things right. Some have been through unthinkable trauma and had every card stacked against them, and are still committed to healing themselves even if the world sees them as degenerate street scum.

It is never too late to find help and change your life.

The video is England 1965. Other musicians are there like Donovan. Renbourn was gaining notoriety at the time and would join Pentangle in 1967 with Bert Jansch, Jacqui McShee and others.

Just look up some photos of him and his guitar from this era, I think it might be him.

The SN-1006 supernova of 1006 A.D. is *not* depicted in a Hohokam petroglyph

Archaeologist here and since I was a teen I've heard people claim that a Hohokam petroglyph recorded a supernova described in medieval written sources from 1006 A.D.

Linked is the pop-science article from 2006 (conveniently 1000 years later), which shows that two astronomers "...who [study] Southwest archaeology as a hobby" simply made the claim with no evidence. They are not indigenous or working with any verifiable data about rock art in the area.

They first claim the petroglyph depicts a scorpion, based on loose comparison to other glyphs in the area that are also not confirmed as such. Then they assume that it must depict the constellation Scorpius, as if the Hohokam would obviously see the same creature in the sky as some Greeks across the world 1000 years before them, right? Which means that the shape a couple inches above the supposed scorpion must be... a supernova!

To be sure, people in this area were tracking solstices and equinoxes as evidenced in architecture at several sites in the SW.

But this is not archaeoastronomy, and these guys were irresponsible for virally spreading pseudoscience. One of them, John C Barentine, still has a page on his website making the claim.
