Rodeo Walk tommorrow - Evony going going ...

I plan to walk the Rodeo Run Walk, non competitive 5K walk. I will walk to the site of the start, at Texas and Smith, that's another 5k. Then I will walk home, for another 4-5K. So I'll get my workout. This thing starts at 9:45 AM. That is pretty late. But I should be home by noon.

I did one of these last year only that time I chose the 10k. But all the others who choose 10k are serious runners. I was by far the last one on the course. The race volunteers practically gave me a parade escort to the finish line. That was embarrassing for me and I sure annoying to them. That last race I was with a lot of people until we got to the place where the 5k people split from the 10k people. I was the only one who chose the 10k route. I should have gotten the message. I am slow about these things but this time I think I get it. I'll just do the 5k but for my own interest I will do more before and after. 5k is not really enough for me.

Does anyone know Evony? Well I have an Evony friend that showed me an automated program that automates one of the most annoying features of Evony. But this is an adventure game, a war game simulating Byzantine warfare technology played by players on the internet from all over the world. Besides the USA there are a lot of English, Germans, and Australians. It is run out of Hong Kong. Anyway these kids of programs, called "bots" are expressly forbidden. You can be evicted from the game.

I have done everything I can really in this game. Now its a matter of mostly staying alive. So eviction might be my best bet. I'm having trouble quitting cold turkey. Right now I am on three day restriction. That's like suspension to the Green Room. Or being grounded like when I was a kid.
