    I posted this in the wrong thread because I'm dumb, and I wasn't trying to be all "suck it, Canada, here's an American flag."

    Flyover at Peachtree Road Race this morning.

    I think Buzz is the ultimate American.

    I also think it would have been fucking priceless if Trump looked at Aldrin and said, "you landed on the moon? That was Fake News!"

    Not wise to question Buzz's moon-walking-ness:

    I've had a very all-American weekend. On Friday I finally went to the new Whitney museum, which is American art. Saturday I went to the beach, then to a baseball game that got shortly rained out so we ended up at a bar on the boardwalk instead, then we wound up going bowling, and a bowling alley on Avenue X from 11-1am on a Saturday is apparently just me, Nom, and all Orthodox Jewish or Armenian teenagers. It was great, even though I kept being drunkenly confident and attempting to bowl with balls that are way too heavy for me and almost falling over. Yesterday I went to a BBQ, and today I spent all day at the beach and then watched the fireworks from our roof. We're the tallest building in our area and we can see literally every firework in New York City so it's this awesome panoramic view of all the official shows and the illegal ones people are setting off their roof (which are still really big, I don't understand how they're not blowing up their houses). It's been hours and I can still see about a dozen shows going from my window. And tomorrow starts summer hours at the gallery so I can sleep in an extra hour tonight. Yayyy America

    I'm doing a straight up old school, recently-divorced-guy 4th. Drinking on the couch, grilled some dogs, bingeing Supernatural. Hitting on a few prospects online, as well.

    We took the canoe out and fished 3 out of the past 4 days and it was glorious. Had this little lake to ourselves most of the time. It was exactly what we wanted.

    Also I get married a month from today. Last month of freedom woohoo?

    Hilariously, that guy also looks and sounds way too much like me.

    I've been avoiding it, but since I'm past 50, it's time for the fun and hilarity of my first colonoscopy. Tomorrow begins the cleansing and Friday morning is the main event. I can't wait to spend 12 hours on the shitter.

    I love how SpaceX is just launching rocket after rocket so much that it's getting almost boring...

    It isn't that bad. Just don't go more than 20 feet from a toilet. You will be shitting water by the 10th round.

    That dude hosting it ain't helping.

    I don't know if it's a accurate comparison but I kind of get a laugh thinking of Norks just now developing missiles that can barely reach the US. Stuff we and the Russians had down some 60 years ago.

    They have a marketing broadcast, and a technical broadcast. That dude is an actual rocket scientist, and does a great job explaining technical stuff.

    It's one of the things I like about him... he's not just some dude reading a teleprompter, he's actually built the shit that's being lit up.

    Yeah, they do two broadcasts simultaneously... one with the beautiful people and fancy graphics, and then this one, just the raw feed with him doing the play by play. I prefer that one because it's got more info.

    But I hear you... but I also respect the shit out of SpaceX for letting him do this as an over-and-above to his normal gig.
