Nice recollections of the weekend DD. I especially liked paragraph 6, sub heading D
(how apropos)
D.) The most significant highlight of my first race actually occurred during the parade lap while the corner workers were displaying their ritual flag salute to the competitors. As the pace truck led our two-lane train through big bend, I glanced over at the spectator fences, and thought of all the years I’d leaned on those fences and ached to be a competitor. There hadn’t been a single visit in 35 years when I hadn’t wanted to be in the cars rather than observing them.
I can relate, nicely put. In my case I forgot about racing on about my 5th lap needing the escape road....BRAKE!
Now for some hard numbers
. Your post above contains 1,813 words created with 10,176 keystrokes (not counting any editing as you went). Lets assume this post is 6 times the size your average post (a reasonable assumption). That would make an average post 302 words with the average number of keystrokes being 1,695. Now it gets fun. Extend these numbers over the 1,000 posts you’ve made and the results are ___________ (insert appropriate adjective here).
1,000 posts = 302,000 words created with 1,695,000 keystrokes.
That’s 827 words per day.
I don’t think "crushing word count" does it justice. Here’s to many more, keep ‘em coming.
oops, look at me, that was 212 words with 1,231 keystrokes, 1,233, 1,239..........
