Grid 1
Notes:..Game on...top of sixth...Trout up...blasted deep...'troutahere!'...Mariners 3-1...Angels and Mariners...Ohtani up...Shoetime!...another home run...Mariners 3-2...Calhoun up...Calhoun in clean up?...a thought yesterday is there was a before and after regarding geometric motifs...Calhoun makes out...to bottom of sixth...a time when they were hand drawn, and then a time when geometric tools were used, like a straight edge, or a compass, or a grid...Egyptians are famous for their grid... and it goes back to like the first kings, the first dynasty...the Puuc Towns in Mexico are full of geometric designs, motifs...noted site back away in recent posts showing how the step fret was like a design tool...if that's the case, this step fret tool is old down in Caral, Peru...Diaz notes that rattlesnakes have a design that incorporates the number 13, and this number is important to Mesoamerican weavers and the number of stitches they make...so, a design 'tool', concept, used to make textiles could be really far back...the early days of textiles lost...related is knot making...Andeans were big on knots, rope work, and textiles...Egyptians too...weavers work from a warp and woof, a grid of back and forth...runner on for Rangers...K for two out...a really simple design tool, is something to trace around, or use as a stencil...off the top of my head this thought!...and what comes to mind are the handprint petroglyphs found all over the world...there's a famous stand alone huge arch ruin in one of the Puuc Towns...red hand prints on what's left of the ceiling...some of the other arches thereabout have the hand prints too...for sometime to source and reference this!...but tracing doesn't seem to have ever been a thing to do for the ancients...Goodwin tossed out trying for second...Fletcher is up...bottom of seventh....circus catch robs Fletch of double...to bottom of seventh...even something as simple as drawing a straight line seems to have come along late...related to the hand prints, is printing...just came across thought that Sumerians used finger prints for identification, and they had their cylinder seals...oh, I'm rambling...reach in mind for post is the Geometric Era in pottery for the ancient Greeks...hmmph...how to get there?...for sometime the 'grid' in the New World...have a notion where to look for it in the Old...brb...two outs...Skaggs, Angel pitcher, has gotten into the seventh!...Mariners wap a home run...Mariners 4-2...

Grids have been found dating to the third dynasty or possibly earlier.

Egyptian units of length are attested from the Early Dynastic Period. Although it dates to the 5th dynasty, the Palermo stone recorded the level of the Nile River during the reign of the Early Dynastic pharaoh Djer, when the height of the Nile was recorded as 6 cubits and 1 palm (about 3.217 m or 10 ft 6.7 in).[1] A 3rd-dynasty diagram shows how to construct an elliptical vault using simple measures along an arc. The ostracon depicting this diagram was found near the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. A curve is divided into five sections and the height of the curve is given in cubits, palms, and digits in each of the sections.

fly out for two outs...the size of the grid squares seems to have been arbitrary, linked to the closed hand of the figure being drawn...but then there are set size measurements which would give a one size grid square, with fractions or mutliples for scaling...eighteen squares small, or eighteen squares big...same difference to the proportions with one grid square equal to one closed hand...Ohtani up...missed what happened to Trout...Walked?...base hit...Renifo scores...Trout to second...Calhoun up...Mariners 4-3...oh..a pic of a naos with grid...

somewhere nearby was a figure with its closed hand...W...bases loaded...Lucroy up...the figure's hand setting the grid square size...I dunno...it follow it would have to be so...unless the Egyptian clip art books had proportions set for objects too...hmmph...something to think on!...the task now is to browse images of pre dynastic artistries for evidence of geometric tools!...line drive out...to bottom of eighth...
