Day 3

Blog Entry - Day 3: The Saga of My Beloved Blue Ford Escape

Dear fellow tankers and friends,

I must apologize for my recent absence in the world of Tanks. As some of you might know, my faithful companion, my beloved blue Ford Escape, has been out of commission for three long days now. It all began when I was rear-ended by another driver while hurrying to work after an all-nighter spent creating tank battle strategies.

The collision wasn't too severe, but it caused enough damage to my dear Escape to warrant a trip to the repair shop. Now, let me tell you, the repair shop is nothing like your average auto body shop. It's a quirky place run by a man named Dreaded Pirate Dan. Yes, you heard that right, a pirate! I have no idea how a pirate got into the car repair business, but I must admit he's quite skilled at his craft. Still, I can't help but feel a little uneasy every time I visit his shop, as if I'm stepping into some kind of pirate-themed alternate reality.

As if the car situation wasn't enough, I've been dealing with a rather peculiar issue at my apartment. For the past few nights, the fire alarm keeps going off, disrupting my already fragile sleep schedule. At first, I suspected faulty wiring or maybe some pranksters in the building. But after some serious contemplation, I've come to the wild conclusion that it might be jealous kids from the world of Tanks community who are behind this nocturnal annoyance. Perhaps they can't stand the idea of me not being online, duking it out in tanks while munching on exotic candies from distant lands.

Speaking of sneaking out to my car at night, oh, how I miss those times! There was a special thrill in setting up my trusty laptop in the cozy confines of my Escape and immersing myself in epic tank battles under the starry night sky. Those candies from obscure countries were the perfect accompaniment, fueling my gaming sessions with their unique flavors and energy.

Now, before I go on another tangent, let me bring this back to the main point. My Ford Escape, my dear tank on wheels, is still in the shop, and I find myself longing for the day when it'll be returned to me in all its glory. Being carless has left me feeling a bit stranded, like a tank without its tracks.

On a different note, I must mention my towering coworker, Jared. I see him every day at work, and he's always ready to lend a hand or a listening ear. I must say, being in his company feels like having a guardian tank by my side.

And then there's Zac, one of my virtual office colleagues. Lately, I can't help but wonder if he's from the future, a clone sent back to observe us in the present. It might sound far-fetched, but you know how the world of Tanks has trained us to think tactically and consider all possibilities. I might just have to find a way to casually slip the topic of time travel into our next virtual team meeting to test the waters.

Anyway, I digress once more. I'll conclude this blog by expressing my hope that my car will be back soon, ready to carry me on adventures both real and virtual. Until then, I'll do my best to endure the sleepless nights, the fire alarm escapades, and the absence of my Ford Escape.

Stay strong on the battlefield, fellow tankers, and let's hope for better days ahead.

Yours in tanks and engineering,

Will Jeffers
