The Serious Blog and Fantastic Stuff

I've created another blog, which can be found at this link. I'll continue to update this one, as the new one exists for a different purpose. A full explanation can be found here.

Now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk about Atlanta.

Last week I drove my brother's high school robotics team to a competition at the Georgia Institute of Technology in downtown Atlanta. Although I suppose "drove" isn't the right word. You don't drive through Atlanta, you go on an epic quest of mythic proportions. You swerve around vicious vagabonds and battle against demons riding steel carriages for passage into the left lane. And at some point during you journey, you must choose which of fifteen Peachtrees to partake of, as only one will bring you glory, while the others lead only to your doom.

So after braving a storm and disposing of a misleading oracle (my Tom Tom), we eventually arrived at the gates of Georgia Tech, where I dropped off the young lords and searched in vain for free parking. I ended up having to sign the gate troll's contract, paying four dollars to keep my car protected from bandits.

Then came the next great challenge: escape form the mythical city of Atlanta. As we walked through the darkness of twilight to find the lost parking space, we thought all was lost. But alas, we found the chariot and made our way out of that accursed city. Then we went to Chick-fil-A.
