Urban art seen today in #Munich seems appropriate. As America deals with the - yet another - murder of a black man by the police, this graffiti shows a crumbling and destroyed NYC and Statue of Liberty with the words "great again" emblazoned on the scene.
True story. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with this spider crawling on my face. On. My. Face. I about knocked myself unconscious punching it to death. Literally, I am bruised. Carey didn't wake. And now I have to burn my apartment.
Live streaming the @spacex launch from our tiny apartment in #Munich. So exciting and so proud. @nasa
The beer gardens are open again. Our first meal outside the apartment in over 70 days! To be clear - Germany is doing it right. You must wear a mask when you're not at your table, you have to fill out a contact tracing declaration, and your table must be 1.5 meters distant from any other table. And no one complained.
Just because I LOLd at this.
Started my first #whiskey infinity bottle tonight. A man's gotta have hobbies in quarantine. Seemed like a fine idea. 🥃
Public transport in Munich. Everyone wears a mask. No one complains. It just works when people aren't being stupid.
It's been a long week already. Thankfully tomorrow is a holiday here in Germany, so I get to sit on my balcony, smoke a pipe, and drink some #whiskey without worrying about work tomorrow.
Regardless of your stance on social distancing and isolation during this pandemic, I can't complain about ending my (virtual) day with some Blanton's #bourbon, rare steaks, and sweet potatoes on my balcony. Here's to you all, from Munich, Bavaria, in Germany.
Good morning #Munich.
