Back in town after a week long hiatus in the heartland. Missed far too many things, most notably the Peachtree Road Race that crossed Ponce this year due to the Piedmont Drought Relocation Program (notice to city, copyright purchase available on that acronym). Since the rainfall dysfunction that has crippled Atlanta,events that once regularly called Piedmont Park home have had to relocate to other, less attractive venues so the grass can recover its lush green color. As a result the Road Race ending was moved from the park to the Civic Center crossing Ponce and unfortunately, I just missed it.
Luckily, the AJC was kind enough to provide four months of over-the-top coverage of every piddling detail to the largest 10K in the country. With such exhausting, smiles-at-all-costs probing, one might think the newspaper was some sort of sponsor of the race.
As I try to catch up on things, I'll just throw up this image from the Cactus Car wash. Tomorrow is the annual Pride Festival Parade and from a quick glance down Piedmont & 10th, the parade should be bumping.
