Monday<\/strong>
\nThe soreness in my calves from my workout on Friday caused me to have trouble walking, so I stayed home from work. I worked a half-day from home and the rest of the day, I just rested. I did get a chance to watch a couple of movies, however. I didn’t go to the gym, obviously, because of the soreness of my calves.<\/p>\n

Tuesday<\/strong>
\nI went to work but was still limping a little. There was a nice wreck on 400N at around Abernathy (Exit 5) so, I decided to exit 285 at Ashford-Dunwoody by Perimeter mall and take a “short cut” and try to get on 400N above the wreck by getting on Abernathy… well, this backfired because it was really backed up once I got on Abernathy near 400. I decided to skip 400N at that point and go across to 9 (which I think is Roswell Road at that point) and take that up to Holcomb Bridge (Exit 7) and get on 400 there and all-in-all, a 45 minute commute became a 80 minute commute. That’s why we all love Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/strong>
\nWell, actually, this in retrospect was a good day. I went to the gym and had a nice full workout. To have a good day at this point was refreshing.<\/p>\n

Thursday<\/strong>
\nA little rain on the roads. During the drive home, I looked on the Georgia Navigator and saw stalls and wrecks on 285 around GA400, so I decided to take Peachtree Industrial as an alternate. But I got near it and after putting my blinker on to get over into the far right lane and some jerk wouldn’t let me over, so I slowed up and then (as I thought he’d do, he got into my lane without a blinker… ARGH. Use your damn blinkers!!!) I got over into the right lane and noticed that the cars were stopped about 3 or 4 car lengths in front of me. I slammed my brakes and slid to a stop in the emergency lane. When my car came to a complete stop, the front end of my car was about even with the front seats of the car in front of me. A major wreck avoided that should even have been an issue if the guy beside me would have just let me over.<\/p>\n

Friday<\/strong>
\nI was on my way to the gym and while sitting at the intersection of Peachtree Parkway (141) and Jay Bird Alley, a Mini-Cooper came flying across the intersection and slammed into a Jeep Cherokee right in front of me. It was pretty violent wreck and after going past it after my light turned green, I felt bad and like I should go back and witness it. So, I turned around and went back. I sat in the parking lot at the Walgreen’s there and called Dana for some advice. After our talk, I decided to go ahead and offer witness to the wreck. I approached the officer and they didn’t need me. I was pretty clear what happened. One of the occupants or both of the Mini-Cooper were taken away in an ambulance (and if you saw the wreck, you’d know why…)<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/strong>
\nI got on my desktop for a quick internet session before going driving to Huntsville to find that it has a major hard-drive problem. It has crashed. Inevitably due to the power outage that apparently happened during the rainstorm on Thursday. I didn’t get a chance to fully fix it. Hopefully, tonight, I will get a chance to work on it. At the beginning of this year, I had 3 working computers. At of the writing of this blog, I have one… my loyal and sexy MacBook.<\/p>\n

I tried to have a nice drive from Georgia to Alabama, but it just wasn’t in the cards. Just a lot of inconsiderate drivers. I made it here in a decent amount of time but very frustrated. <\/p>\n

Driving used to be fun but now it’s just another necessary evil. Why can’t something that was as fun as driving become some people make it impossible to enjoy… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
