Random Atlanta insights
I got sick of working and went for a drive for about 40 minutes tonight. I wound up near Atlanta Federal Penitentiary and I do have to say, that place looks like a prison, it’s like the dark side of Gotham City from the Batman Comics. Most of the places around it (I took an odd route home and got lost) are quite photogenic in a burned out, industrial way.
On an unrelated note, Man charged with vandalism of Tupac Shakur statue. Atlanta is home (oddly, since there’s not much of a connection) to the Tupac Shakur Arts Center for some reason.

What a crappy few days
First I find out that the “We buy ugly houses” people want a 30% discount over the market rate (I declined), a project extends by 24 straight hours, Delta won’t do anything about changing my flight, and now I’m getting sick. Humbug.
