Sunday in ATL
I rushed off to the behind the scenes tour of CNN HQ in Atlanta, where all the live news bulletins are done. Had demos of the teleprompters, weather and other stuff. Very interesting. Thought I saw Arnand Naidoo there in the line in the food court. Remember him, the Indian dude that was an M-Net presenter, then moved onto reading the news on SABC 3. But alas is was not him, just another Paki ordering a bunny chow in front of me.
Most of the tour was was top secret so we weren't allowed to take photos. I thought the escalator down to the underground was long - this is the highest escalator in the world - 8 storeys high!
I then moseyed on to Centennial Olympic Park, which was dedicated to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. It makes me wonder how they won the right to host the Olypmics, I wonder where they hid all the gangstas?
Come 3.30pm, I was back on the subway, huis toe! Actually not really, back to sleepy Omaha for another long week's slog to but bread on the table.
