I follow an account on social media that posts photos of days gone by in Texas. This was today’s image. The calendar posted on the wall says 1939. I found the photo to be especially powerful when you consider how hard times were. This family appeared to be surviving on biscuits and hard work. Comparing a poor child “back then” to children in contemporary society—pleading for the latest iPhone—is an eye opener.
Not really relevant to the purpose of this thread; just something that had me thinking as I viewed this post with the 3rd Sunday in Advent on my mind.

Not as different from today as you'd think in a lot of ways

Wow you worked really hard on this. With all the image searching, story boarding, image inserting. No small task. I imagine you used the desktop for this job. Cell phone would just be too unwieldy. Well done. Slow weekend though huh?

Babe Ruth retired as a Boston Brave, so the photo of Ruth in pinstripes at Yankee Stadium for his retirement isn't really accurate.

Yep. In a sport that has no universally agreed upon method of naming a national champion for nearly a century, shenanigans will abound.
Did the big 12 not have an agreed upon method of naming conference champs in 2010?

Those Morton salt cans haven’t changed much in 80 years.
