Timeline of Charles Mercer

While driving home from an excellent day where we were treated to +Chris Morrison 's food, I started to come up with a little timeline for Mercer.  It is a long drive from LA to Pismo Beach, and at first I came up with the reason he came to LA.  I came up with Nora Wells in which you can read Mercer's story in listed in the previous post.  I came up with it on the rush and I may redo later.

Timeline: this is by no means a complete timeline.  But it helps out by keeping everything straight as I parcel out Mercer's time.  Hope you can use it +Jim Sandoval !  Might be something there you can use.  More will be added later.
