That's Mt. Fuji from the space station.
i'd love to go to the f1 race at fuji, only problem is they've been holding it at suzuka instead of the fuji circuit the last few years..

I did manage to see the comet (Giacobini-Zinner) again this morning. I had to go back and forth between the binoculars and the star map on the LCD screen, which was very bad for my night vision. I finally located the comet; I'd been mistaking it for a field star.
After letting my vision recover, I noticed no coma or tail. I'd seen a definite coma and a hint of tail when I viewed it in September. Now ... a dot.
In the past few days the magnitude estimate for Giacobini-Zinner on Heavens-Above has dropped from 7.5 to 8.5. The starlike object I saw was about that bright, but the absence of extended features made it harder to spot than I'd figured.
There is another comet due for December; it's called 46P/Wirtanen. It should come quite close to Earth and is expected to be naked-eye visible for some nights. Here's its projected sky track.

I've found tracking stuff on Heavens-Above to be a great way to find out how much sky I still do not know. Satellite passes are fun.
Hahaha yeah I know, was totally joking around.

I've been to many many NASCAR races, the Indy race at Barbasal, road Atlanta IMSA races, and Atlanta Dragway and all the local dirt tracks, and even some ARCA races, ohh and the super bikes at road Atlanta. Damn near forgot supercross and mud races lol.
I had the chance to to be on a arca pit crew , but in the interview the dude told me it was a volunteer position and I had to cover my own travel/food/and everything fuck that . It was only a few years after Ricky Rudd had ran over some crew members at Daytona and I just wasn't into dieing for free.
roadies, holidays?
opposition research, passionate exchanges with the competition?

Love does not have to be expensive but lust can cost a fortune.
