Keep Doubles Promote Doubles

I have an easy suggestion to help with viewership and another one that’s just an observation.

Have each team wear at least matching colors different from the other side of the net. We’ve all experienced difficulty even in singles when the players have same kit AND hat!! If you flip on the tennis channel you will immediately see two pairs rather than four players. Easier to follow. And new fans are already trying to figure out scores.
My second is that many players team up for a tournament one and done. Fans don’t get to know them and are less likely to be invested over a season. I do not think Bryan Bros were popular just because they were winning. They were a team and looked like a team and you knew which on side of the net were the Bryans. Not sure this is fixable, but that’s a lot of why I think many are interested in known pairs or novelty star teams.

Irish sweepstakes in US

My grandpa used to visit every Saturday. He’d have a ticket to the Irish Sweepstakes. I think they were pink with blue ink. I remember *whispering* about this, because they were “illegal.”
Was it Illegal. Was it Irish. What type of winnings are we talking about. And where did it go?

Somewhere to watch World Cup England Norge Quarterfinal Saturday afternoon at 4:pm

I’m staying in Deer Park. So Palatine, Deer Park, Kildeer, Arlington Heights would be ideal. I’ll be on my own–SF not so young. Any suggestions I’ll check out and, hope to find someplace comfortable with great screens. Thanks!

Insurance wants to Total my car. I’d rather just donate – but where?

Good running well maintained car. 2008 w 75k miles. I was rear ended by uninsured driver while sitting at stop light. My insurance will total my car and give me a pittance. I’d just as soon donate. Since I already spoke to insurance, does that mean I have a claim? Also any recommendations on charity that will take a car that is drivable.

Dealer sent me video of golf I’m looking at. There are scratches on the roof. I’ve never seen an autobahn in person. I was surprised the roof isn’t same paint and color as body. Can anyone tell me is that fixable? Is it a piece that can be removed or does it get smoothed and painted? Help?

Also, hope not too long. The price? High?
