I had expected Wednesday to be a normal day. Ran at the gym, then returned home to work. Ceil had left out to work. Later she called – she had forgotten something. I offered to bring it to her at lunchtime. That's when everything went haywire.
0630 run 3 miles at gym
0745 start work
0900 conference call
1000 conference call
1100 McDonalds in Roswell drive-thru
1115 Dropoff at Ceil's school in Alpharetta
1130 Scored some Pumas from a nearby store
1145 Checkers in Woodstock for fries
1200 Carwash
1215 Browsed at Goodwill
1230 Back home
1245 M called: his car broke down on 285
0100 Drove him my car so he could get to work
0115 Visited with the kind hero unit man
0200 Rode on the tow truck to the shop
0245 Checked out the train store next door
0300 Walked to McDonalds
0315 Picked up by Ceil
0330 Drove Ceil to Perimeter Mall
0345 Checked out costumes at Marshalls
0445 Took a wrong turn onto 285 east.
0500 Took Chamblee Dunwoody
0515 to Peachtree Dunwoody
0530 to Spaulding to Johnson Ferry.
0545 Dropped C off at church
0600 Rescued Winnie
0700 Drove back to pick up Ceil
0730 Trader Joes
0745 Home. Stir fry for supper.
0900 take Winnie outside
1000 hit the sack
1130 take Winnie outside again
After Ceil finished in Perimeter Mall she came out to the car and wanted to go to Taqueria. I know a back way to the Brookhaven Taqueria to avoid traffic. Took one route out of the mall but it was backed up. Took another better route across the new 285 bridge, and was fixing to turn left toward the route past Marist when C decided she just wanted to go home.
So I made a right toward Northside Hospital, then right on Ashford Dunwoody toward Sandy Springs. But the left lane was gridlocked and the right lane funneled onto 285 east. So that's what I had to do, since I didn't want to block traffic waiting to merge left. The first exit was Chamblee Dunwoody (I think. I get all those something Dunwoody roads mixed up). Left off the exit, left onto Peachtree Dunwoody through downtown Dunwoody, then another left, and left on Spaulding. Took that across 400 and Roswell Road all the way to Johnson Ferry, then across the river into East Cobb. Much more scenic and less traffic and stress than 285 and 400. Some people stick to the interstates even in rush hour. I am pretty much the opposite, even if it takes longer.
MAX SCHERZER [B-R Bio] was the most recent pitcher to both strike out 20 hitters in a game and throw a no-hitter in another. He threw a no-hitter 20-Jun-2015 and K'd 20 on 11-May-2016. Randy Johnson was the first (and only other) pitcher in this century to notch this combo. He is one of only three pitchers known to have thrown more than two immaculate innings. An immaculate inning is one where the pitcher strikes out all three batters on a total of 9 pitches. Scherzer's innings were the 5th on 14-May-2017(2), the 6th on 05-Jun-2018, and the 6th on 12‑Sep‑2021. The others who thrice threw immaculate innings are Chris Sale, Sandy Koufax, and Randy Johnson. Heterochromia iridum is a condition where each of a person's eyes have a different color. Max has one blue eye and one brown, but for a brief, but fantastic moment in time, he added a 3rd color.
