It seems as though people are already starting to celebrate the 4th of July. I just had to kick someone out of the bar after cutting them off because they were singing the national anthem. And they were singing as well as you'd expect a drunk to sing. I'm also fairly certain the lyrics he was trying to sing were nothing close to what the actual words to the national anthem are.

I feel like this is something I would do if someone asked me to watch something like a plant or something. I might not get quite as creative, but I could do this.

The contractor says it's going to be months to finish repairing the house still. Rather than burn money in a hotel I've started looking for a condo or some place.

At least I'll never have to worry about air conditioning costs.

I really don't bloody understand why facts no longer matter to anyone. The two front runners for becoming the next Prime Minister of the UK are both convinced they can renegotiate the Brexit deal with the EU, despite the fact the EU has said negotiations are over. Period. End of sentence. They also seem to think they can take out the Irish border backstop in the deal and make it a hard border. They clearly forgot all about The Troubles and that 40 year period of time during which thousands of people died because of the attempt at a harder border.

Clearly this means there will be a No Deal Brexit and everything is going to go to shit. Which is basically what I've feared yet also somewhat expected since the vote for Brexit happened.

For the first time, scientists have been able to track a short radio burst to its origin point. This instance having been a single radio burst and not a repeated one. It was picked up by an Australian radio telescope, and traced to a galaxy 3.6 billion light-years from Earth. Good on my countrymen for making that discovery.

Ever just ... go somewhere quiet for some peace and meditation? No sound, no people, just the stars above and the Earth rising?

The moon. I'm on the moon.

Perhaps I shouldn't have been at that club for as long as I was last night. I'm still hungover despite taking plenty of aspirin and drinking nothing but water today. But it was totally worth it.
