Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 9:00 p.m. in "The City", where the current and Real Feel temperatures are 77° with a wind out of the west at six mph. Tonight's low temperature will be a seasonal 63° before we pass the sunrise tomorrow @ 6:13 a.m. and reach the high temperature of 78° before the sunset @ 9:26 p.m. and an overnight low temperature of 67° followed by Friday's high temperature of 81°. 

Baseball has been very, very good to me, so far. 

The 34 - 48 Cubs placed RHP Kyle Hendricks on the IL with right shoulder soreness before they went on to win one this afternoon over the 47 - 37 Brewers in Milwaukee, 2 - 1. The Cubs will get no rest, as they hop on a plane to LA for a 10:10 p.m. start versus the 51 - 29 Dodgers, with RHP Marc Leiter jr., 2 - 2, on the mound for the Cubs.

The 34 - 47 Tigers swept the 40 - 40 Guardians in Cleveland today, winning game four of their series by a solid 8 - 2 score. Miggy got three RBIs as the Tigers' bats came to life. The Tigers travel to Chicago to face that other 39 - 41 team @ 8:10 p.m. with RHP Beau Brieske, 1 - 6 going for the Tigers.

The 45 - 36 Red Sox are not faring so well right now, as they are down 0 - 6 in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Sox will be in NYC tomorrow night to face the 58 - 23 Yankees @ 7:10 p.m. with RHP Josh Winckowski, 3 - 2, on the mound for the Sox.

The 38 - 38 Caps are in a delay versus the 43 - 33 Dragons in Dayton due to a wet field. HUH?

We had a nice afternoon after Mary dropped off Ginger for her regular spa session. We initially intended to travel to Hofma Park, the counterpart to Hofma Preserve in GH Township, but the park was closed for some tree removal. So, we traveled to Stearns Creek Park, also in the Township, for a hike and a photo op. As my regular readers know, of late, I've been publishing pix taken by our Senior Staff Photographer due to my busy schedule, but today, I just had to get out for some pix of my own. Here are some of those pix.

Trees before people, I guess.

We'd never been to Stearns Creek Park before.

Located on the farm where George Vollmer grew up, and also where his brother, Ludwig, grew up too, which I learned tonight from Ludwig's daughter, Jeanie.

Many trails.

Cacti.

More trails.

Signs of human visitors.

A great day for a safari.

That safari was part of a day of ear and print reading, crossword solving, cross-stitching, and other home activities. 

Tomorrow, I hope to ear-and print read more, play more music, relax, and enjoy being retired. Mary will be stitching and reading too. Ciao.
