Last night I played a quick game and a half of the old DOS game, Deathtrack.
The game has 10 races in a season. I happened to win all the races except for the last race, where I ended 2nd. In frustration, I pulled up a save file halfway through the season and reran the last few races…and ended up second on the very last race!
Naturally, I decided that perfection is overrated and went to bed.
I wonder if the 18-1 Patriots or the 73-win Warriors have made a similar peace with their spectacular seasons that fell just short.
Happy 22-2-21
(to be fair, I should have posted about a palindrome, but I don’t have a story from yesterday about symmetry…but happy 2/21/22 to you as well)
