Why do I always forget about the top of my feet when we go to the beach?!

You’ll remember next time! That’s a painful thing to overlook. We love Navarre btw. Good for you on the vacay.

Tape a tube of high UV lotion to one of your flip flops when you pack! :D Since my melanoma I never forget. That's not the best way to start remembering. But it has been 10 years plus ago without recurrence, so 👏 on that.

I didn’t pay for them but I handed over my 4 tix on the porch for the Saturday night vandee game, to a great lady I deal with, whose kids had never been.
She said they had the time of their lives, caught BP balls and loved it.
Why would anyone not want that satisfaction if they couldn’t attend a game and had tickets to spare?

An incredibly generous Vols fan gave me tickets to a series once. It was an incredible experience! I felt like I was at a celebrity event, seeing our guys in person! GB🍊!

I get that. In my case, wifey has YTTV for movies and series and whatnot. So I have been able to freeload sports. I hardly ever watch non-Vols TV, so I have no idea about services, really.

We pay $75/mth for YTTV and use it at farm and lakehouse. So it's a no brainer for us. Our son also has been logged in at UT. He's on his way home. 🧡 (I'm the wife but I watch VOLS sports more than anything else, tho I do like a HM movie once a week. Oh and dateline!)

This is an extraordinary photo of Redland Field in 1922. The image gives a rare early view of the Reds ballpark in exceptional clarity. About a year ago, I posted a similar photo taken from a slightly different vantage point by the same aerial photographer. However, this image gives us a better view of the Harrison Avenue Viaduct, built in 1908. If you look carefully, you will see a streetcar on the viaduct right where it crosses Western Avenue. You will also notice the railroad trestle curving off to the left of the photo over the Millcreek. I believe this is a B&O line by this time, but it was built by the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad. If you follow Western Avenue (runs along the outfield wall) north toward the viaduct, you'll see a sandlot ballfield. It's hard to tell from the angle, but this is probably either at the intersection of Dayton St or Bank St.

Now on to Redland Field. My earlier photo did not show the Sun Deck (No lights yet!) as clearly, and note the two flag poles inside the field of play on the warning track. Much of the advertising on the outfield wall is visible, including Coca-Cola, Western Bank and Trust, Dolly Varden Chocolates, and someone selling underwear. One sign prominently displays the name "A. Ehrmantraut", but I am uncertain as to what that business was. At the time, there was an Ehrmantraut Bros. optometrist in Cincinnati...maybe this was to encourage the umpires to improve their vision!
