Perqs of living near Indy...

Em and I are parking cars (prepaid) in Lot 1B at the Indy 500. Arrived at 0430 and hope to be cut loose no later than 1300 (race time). We aim to park about 2k cars with about 25 other parents and chorus kids from Em's future high school. This counts for fundraising duties for the year.

Amazed at the number of s--t-faced drunks already on-scene. Many seem all-nighters who plan to attend the race. Impressive, and a wonderful way to spend your 44th with your eldest.

Odd Indy 500 parking fact: few African-Americans, almost no Hispanics, but amazing number of Asians.
