ON THE STUDY OF HORSE COCK: a Qualitative Analysis of Mark Webber's Bulge

ABSTRACT Mark Webber, 2015 WEC world champion and retired F1 driver, has terrorized the online world with his dick bulge for all the years he has been photographed. Whether this is due to a lack of well-fitting pants, or simply because his cock is massive, remains to be answered. Building on previous academic work by scholars such as @cedobols and @f1rstyasfk, this paper uses grounded theory to analyze the work of Clive Rose, a friend and photographer of Webber. It takes into account primarily the draping of Webber's pants, the shadows, and his stance to examine whether the work should be added to the existing dialogue surrounding Webber horse cock. We conclude that, though the photo demonstrates bulge, it is unfortunately not obvious enough to be added to the horse cock tag specifically. That said, we suggest the work be added to a new academic collection on Webber's love handles.

➽───────────────❥

In 2016, Mark Webber announced his retirement from motor racing for good, but this announcement didn't mean the end of his relevance to the racing world. With his limited appearances on television, and without the need to wear team-mandated uniforms, Webber began to gain popularity in online circles who'd never heard of him for one thing: his incredible dick bulge. At least, this is how the history goes; scholars such as bom have pinpointed the phenomenon of what is now called "Mark Webber Horse Cock" as beginning in the late 2000s, or indeed earlier (motorkink, 2022). Dutiful academics have taken the time since to contribute to the contemporary discussion around Mark Webber's bulge, and it is in this context that this paper aims to add to the conversation with Clive Rose's recent photographic work from Singapore, 2023. In this paper, we will use grounded theory to examine the photograph from an aesthetic, qualitative angle to answer whether or not it can be added to the seminal works of the Horse Cock portfolio. We will first discuss the existing literature around Webber's bulge, then justify our use of grounded theory. We will then partake in a detailed, critical analysis of Clive Rose's work. Following the analysis, we will discuss our findings to conclude that though the photo demonstrates bulge, it is unfortunately not obvious enough to be added to the horse cock tag specifically. Finally, we suggest avenues for further study and review.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Perhaps one of the most obvious and encapsulating examples of Mark Webber Horse Cock academia comes from this post the author made in early 2022 (multi2-1). To our knowledge, it is currently the only work that has broken containment regarding Horse Cock and attracted a new wave of critical thinking about Mark Webber's penis. Other works exist in Horse Cock literature, namely by acclaimed scholar bom cedobols, who has contributed much to the movement. The author is too lazy to hack it with Tumblr's shitty search engine, so imagine that the rest of the substantial lit review is source: trust me bro.

This project uses grounded theory to examine Clive Rose's work photographing Mark Webber. Conceived in 1967 by Anselm Strauss and Barney Glaser, grounded theory is as much a theory as it is a methodology (Mediani, 2017). It was created to merge quantitative and qualitative research methods (Greon et al., 2017). It is prescriptive, meaning it generates new theories to account for patterns in a study rather than apply existing theories, thus avoiding the trappings and limitations of existing theories and conceptual frameworks (Mediani). There are several reasons why this study does not use pre-existing frameworks to guide the research. Firstly, grounded theory allows for a looser combination of quantitative and qualitative lens with which to examine the data. It allows for the examination of arbitrary things, such as the shadows around a cropped photo of Mark Webber's crotch. Secondly, though this study of horse cock is not new, the field of research studying the relationship between random photos and dick bulges is an emerging field that is only gaining prevalence with advancements in technology. Thus, avoiding the limitations on perspective that come with pre-existing theories is a benefit in providing insight specific to Mark Webber's horse cock that might otherwise be lost.

Clive Rose's work can be found below. Rose has a prolific portfolio, most notably of beautiful Sebastian Vettel photos, and we thank him for his contribution to our cause (Rose, 2023).

ANALYSIS

First, it is important to isolate the most relevant part of Rose's photo. We have taken the liberty to do so here:

With the benefit of grounded theory, we have identified three key aspects to guide our analysis: the draping of Webber's pants, the shadows, and his stance. First, in examining the draping, we can see that he has pockets on either side. We can also see that the pants fit well; they leave ample breathing room and don't seem to hug his thighs, while simultaneously providing adequate definition to his dumpy, the likes of which we can extrapolate from the front.

Next, let us consider the shadows. They fall most prominently beneath the fold of his right pocket and in the dip towards his left thigh. They are also visible around where his bulge is, in the large crease leading to his right pocket.

Finally, Webber's stance is that of a man on the move, which we can deduce by focusing on his elevated right thigh. We can estimate, based on the rest of the photo, that Webber is walking, rather than running.

DISCUSSION

In our analysis, we highlighted how Webber's pants drape, how the shadows fall over and around his crotch, and his movement in the photo. Based on our analysis, we can reason our way logically through to a conclusive stance on whether or not Rose's photo should be added to the Horse Cock portfolio.

Webber's pockets, namely his right pocket, seems to take centre stage. The way the fabric of his pants drape, in addition to how the shadows fall, leads us to the notion that his pocket is folding as pants pockets do when one walks: outward. Assuming that Webber's pants have a zipper in the front, we can further presume that the front part of his pants are attached along its seam, thus creating the tension that causes his pocket to fold in such a manner.

The pocket seems to be the source of confusion. From a distance, or on a small screen such as a mobile device, the way it folds seems to suggest Mark's dick bulge. However, upon closer inspection, the bulge itself is barely present. As we are debating the merits of adding the photo to works under the horse cock tag, this is what Rose's case hinges on. Thus: we believe the photo should not be added.

CONCLUSION

This paper investigated Clive Rose's recent work from Singapore 2023 to answer the question of whether it should be considered among works demonstrating Mark Webber's dick bulge. It used grounded theory to identify three aspects of the photo we believed were significant: the draping of Webber's pants, how the shadows fell over his crotch, and his photographed stance. Upon analysis and discussion, it found that the photo should not be added to the horse cock tag on the basis of Webber's bulge not being obviously present, and cast blame on his pocket for inspiring hope.

It is a sinister illusion for Horse Cock theorists, but a significant one nonetheless. Negative results, as they say in the research world, are still results. That said, Rose's photo is not without merit, and we propose a new avenue of investigation where it may be relevant, out of the scope of this paper: Webber's love handles.

LA FUMÉE, VOL. 1 NO. 4

Full breakdown under the cut!

Here I'll go through each page as the Skills point out interesting details, though I'll skip the front cover; it's simply an edited version of the one in-game.

Encyclopedia [Medium: Success]: However, I will point out that the cover depicts King Frissel I — the last suzerain of Revachol — as dead, having sprouted antlers. Frissel was deposed and executed by communists, whose symbol is a pair of antlers and a star...the dots connect themselves.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Perception [Easy: Success]: The illustration used is concept art of the fishermen's shacks, to the west of Martinaise.

Empathy [Medium: Success]: Above the shacks, you see the word 'Méncompetent' — a cheeky pun from the designers. Now it's a Table of "Discontents" — no doubt in reference to their discontent with the state of the world. Or the lack of funding from their readerbase.

Conceptualization [Challenging: Success]: You recognize the names Exilus Bücher and Nasteb Encalada-Bernal, the pen names of those two university communards that meet above the Capeside Apartments, but the others seem to be even more fictional. The mononym "Dobrevardo" stands out, though...

Logic [Medium: Success]: ...didn't Call Me Mañana tell you something about Dobreva and Abadanaiz? Interesting.

EDITOR'S NOTE

Perception [Medium: Failure]: The image behind them is of the headless FALN rider, a plastic rendition similar to the statue by the lorry drivers. It's unclear how this urban legend connects to their plea for funding.

Electrochemistry [Easy: Failure]: It looks cool, man! That's what communism is all about: Looking cool.

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS

Inland Empire [Easy: Success]: The black letters are echoes from another world; the Dutch Anarchy magazine number 066, 1996. They have been flipped, cut, and edited to suit a broader purpose; they are not there for you to read them.

Encyclopedia [Medium: Success]: The article titles are real, though, plucked straight from Elysium. Uncle Sport refers to Sapormat 'Sport' Knezhinisky, president of the SRV. Despite rumors of Samaran news all being propaganda, their president's near-pathological obsession with physical fitness means he probably did wrestle a bear or two.

KUNST UND KULTUR: ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

Logic [Trivial: Success]: C.S. obviously stands for Cindy the Skull, if her face being obscured by a skull and the red paint weren't enough clues.

Perception [Formidable: Success]: It's hard to spot, but behind the interview text you can just make out the words of her most recent piece, Un jour je serai de retour prés de toi ('51, red-dyed fuel oil on concrete). And are those radiocomputers above the radio play reviews? How appropriate.

Encyclopedia [Medium: Success]: "Comrades at the Table" is a clear reference to the radio roleplaying show, "Friends at the Table". Instead of tuning in to participate in the game like Fortress Accident, listeners would instead passively tune in to an ongoing roleplaying campaign played by the show's hosts.

Conceptualization [Challenging: Success]: The other two are pure fiction, though they play on radio show name conventions. One could argue that "Vespertine Oranjese" is an oblique reference to "Orange is the New Black", but it's nothing more than a half-coincidence. Probably.

KUNST UND KULTUR: TIPTOP TOURNÉE

Perception [Easy: Success]: This slick-looking page depicts a motor carriage having knocked over a communist figurine from its pile. The designer clearly took pride in its conception.

Empathy [Trivial: Success]: They're proud of the whole thing, brother!

Encyclopedia [Medium: Success]: You recognize the phrase "cultivating plasm" — Steban and Ulixes must be referencing Ignus Nilsen's theories on Infra-Materialism. Plasm is described as a politicized energy that could be harnessed in a variety of increasingly fantastical ways; you're unsure what its cultivation would mean for a popular car race.

LOCAL CONCERNS

Endurance [Easy: Success]: It's almost over. You can feel it.

Composure [Challenging: Success]: Thank god.

Logic [Medium: Success]: It says the aerial shot of the dockworker's strike was taken by Evrart Claire? Clearly a fabrication designed to uphold the man's benevolent facade. No wonder you found it in the secretariat's couch on the way to his office.

Conceptualization [Easy: Success]: To reiterate, though: This replication of La Fumée has absolutely everything described in-game. Its length has been reduced for ease of printing and the creator's sanity, and a few details like subheaders and authors have been added for perceived authenticity, but it is scarily accurate. Everything described has been preserved in the transfer from Elysium to Earth.

Volition [Formidable: Success]: This is shockingly thorough for a costume that will be seen hundreds of times, and recognized five or six. This was made not for attention, but out of a deep love for the work that inspired it.

Empathy [Challenging: Success]: Or perhaps a deep love for communism?

Electrochemistry [Easy: Success]: You only see this kind of acute hyperfocus in something so trivial from fat cats with ADHD, or yourself after finding that bottle of Speed Saint-Batiste PREPTIDE and throwing back a couple pills. Your throat feels dry.

BACK COVER

Encyclopedia [Easy: Success]: Two symbols are featured on this back cover: The insignia of a star and antlers, and dried may bells, both of which became synonymous with communism during the Turn-of-the-Century Revolution of '02.

Shivers [Formidable: Success]: I used to be @shenaniglenn. I still am. The pockets of me that are strewn about the city remain, but they've remained quiet for years now. A young boy peers down into a storm drain, transfixed as the water collects and swirls outward. Where are you going, young ocean, and may I join in?

Half-Light [Easy: Success]: This is too much. Pack it up. Got to go.

Drama [Challenging: Failure]: Sire, dost thy loyal readers deserve not a performance for thine toil?

Half-Light [Trivial: Success]: OUT.

[Thank you for reading. If you skipped to the end, thank you for skipping to the end.]

Been enjoying Initial-D lately, aka the main reason every 10+year old Honda Civic and Subaru Impreza in this country has those stupid extra loud mufflers, slammed suspension, and decals full of technical jargon pasted all over. It's the car guy anime. IDK what the name means; a better name is:

The Adventures of Tofu Boy And The Street Hooligans

Our protagonist Takumi, henceforth referred to as Tofu Boy in this review, doesn't like cars. He doesn't have a car and doesn't want a car, knows nothing about specs or trim levels or modifications and has never willingly picked up a car magazine. To Tofu Boy, a car is merely a motor and a set of wheels with enough space in the back to hold a massive cooler of tofu, and the bane of his existence because since the age of thirteen he has been forced to get in his dad's car at at ass o'clock AM and drive like fifty miles delivering tofu to his dad's customers.

Yes. His dad put his thirteen-year-old son behind the wheel of his...I think it's basically a sport-trim Japanese domestic version of a Toyota Corolla? at like 4 am every morning and sent him off alone. Unsupervised. Across a treacherous mountain pass riddled with switchbacks. With no one to tell him not to, and no one to egg him on past his limits, Tofu Boy mastered the art of getting up the mountain without spilling the tofu, and down the mountain as fast as possible so he could GO THE FUCK BACK TO BED. Because he's TIRED. And he HATES DRIVING. Because it's his JOB and JOBS SUCK.

Our story picks up when Tofu Boy is now 18 and finally has his driver's license. He's allowed to take the car out when other people are on the road, for purposes other than tofu delivery. Some local street racers discover his insane mountain descent skills, and they swiftly make him their god.

One of the themes of the anime is that it's not technology or high quality equipment or book learning or passion or enthusiasm that makes a master, it's years of drudgery until you are so sick of doing the thing that you invent ways to make the thing even harder just to alleviate the boredom of doing the thing that you can't escape even in your dreams.

I haven't even gotten to Tofu Dad. Truthfully, I'm not far enough into the anime to know whether we get any explanation for his behavior but Tofu Dad is goddamn bizarre.

Hiboy S2/S2R Plus Electric Scooter Review

The Hiboy S2/S2R Plus Electric Scooter has quickly become a popular choice for urban commuters and casual riders alike, thanks to its blend of performance, convenience, and affordability. Below is a detailed review of the scooter's features, performance, and overall value.

Design and Build Quality

The Hiboy S2/S2R Plus boasts a sleek, minimalist design that is both stylish and functional. The frame is constructed from durable aluminum alloy, ensuring it can withstand daily wear and tear. The scooter has a clean, modern aesthetic, with a black matte finish that adds to its appeal.

One of the standout features is the foldable design, which makes the scooter incredibly portable. Whether you're hopping on public transport or storing it in a small apartment, the Hiboy S2/S2R Plus can easily fold down to a compact size. The locking mechanism is sturdy, providing confidence that the scooter will remain secure when folded.

Performance

Equipped with a 350W motor, the Hiboy S2/S2R Plus offers a top speed of 19 mph (30 km/h). This speed is sufficient for most urban environments, allowing riders to keep up with traffic or breeze past it during rush hour. The acceleration is smooth, and the motor provides ample power to tackle small inclines without straining.

The scooter features two riding modes: Normal and Sport. The Normal mode conserves battery life while still delivering respectable performance, making it ideal for leisurely rides or longer commutes. The Sport mode unlocks the full potential of the motor, offering a more thrilling ride for those who crave speed.

Battery Life and Range

The Hiboy S2R model features a detachable battery, a significant upgrade over the standard S2. This feature allows users to swap out the battery on the go, effectively doubling the range without the need for a lengthy charging session. The standard battery provides a range of up to 17 miles (27 km), depending on the terrain, rider weight, and speed mode.

Charging the battery takes around 4-6 hours, which is fairly standard for electric scooters in this class. The detachable battery can be charged separately from the scooter, offering added convenience for those with limited charging options.

Ride Comfort and Safety

Ride comfort is enhanced by the solid tires, which are puncture-proof and maintenance-free. While solid tires can sometimes lead to a rougher ride compared to air-filled ones, the Hiboy S2/S2R Plus compensates with front and rear dual shock absorbers. These absorbers effectively dampen vibrations and bumps, providing a smoother ride on uneven surfaces.

Safety is a top priority, and the Hiboy S2/S2R Plus doesn't disappoint. The scooter is equipped with a dual braking system: an electronic brake at the front and a disc brake at the rear. This combination ensures responsive stopping power, even in wet conditions. Additionally, the scooter features a bright LED headlight, taillight, and side reflectors to enhance visibility during night rides.

Technology and Features

The Hiboy S2/S2R Plus is packed with smart features that elevate the riding experience. The LCD display on the handlebar provides real-time information on speed, battery life, and riding mode. The scooter also connects to the Hiboy app via Bluetooth, allowing riders to track their rides, customize settings, and even lock the scooter for added security.

Another notable feature is the cruise control function, which allows riders to maintain a constant speed without holding down the throttle. This is particularly useful for longer rides, reducing hand fatigue and making the journey more enjoyable.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Solid Performance: The 350W motor offers a good balance of speed and power for urban commuting.

Detachable Battery: The S2R model's removable battery allows for extended range and easy charging.

Portable Design: The foldable frame makes it easy to carry and store.

Safety Features: Dual braking system, LED lights, and reflectors enhance safety.

Comfortable Ride: Dual shock absorbers and solid tires provide a smooth ride on various terrains.

Smart Features: The LCD display, app connectivity, and cruise control add convenience and customization.

Cons:

Limited Range: The 17-mile range may not be sufficient for longer commutes without a second battery.

Solid Tires: While puncture-proof, they can lead to a slightly rougher ride on very bumpy roads.

Charging Time: A full charge takes 4-6 hours, which might be inconvenient for frequent riders.

Conclusion

The Hiboy S2/S2R Plus Electric Scooter is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable, feature-rich scooter for urban commuting. Its combination of performance, portability, and smart features makes it a strong contender in the electric scooter market. While the range may be a limiting factor for some, the detachable battery in the S2R model offers a practical solution. Whether you're a daily commuter or a weekend rider, the Hiboy S2/S2R Plus delivers a smooth, safe, and enjoyable ride at a competitive price point.

Yung Gravy - Serving Country

I’m gonna say the same thing I did when I reviewed Bilmuri’s new album, American Motor Sports: what’s up with every band releasing a country album now? Bilmuri did, Post Malone’s got one coming out, and now Yung Gravy just dropped one after dropping a few southern fried singles over the past few months. Called Serving Country, although Biscuits & Gravy would have been a way better title, I had no idea it was even coming out until I saw it. I listened to a couple of the singles from it, and thought they were fine, but I wondered how much of this album was a gimmick. Yung Gravy’s interesting, too, because he’s never expressed any fascination with country or wanting to make an album in that vein, but it could be good. I figured I’d listen to it, just to see what it was all about, so what did we get with this project?

Honestly, I like Serving Country, but it does feel like more or less a gimmick, versus Gravy wanting to make a country album, because it just feels like his usual schtick with a banjo or steel guitar over it. As much as I like Yung Gravy, I only really like a handful of songs here, but I can’t say it’s all bad (a couple of songs aren’t that good, though, but I’ll get to those later). I will say that the guests on this album leave a lot to be desired, whether it’s Zac Brown, Shania Twain, Brantley Gilbert, or Juicy J, although the latter has the best guest spot on the whole album, despite not even being a country artist. That’s the strange thing, too, this album relies heavily on guests. Zac Brown is on two songs here, and I don’t quite understand why, but the guests aren’t great.

Musically, this album is really strange, because it has a little too much interpolation on it, such as “Clementine” being an interpolation of “Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown Band, or “My Day 1’s,” which is an interpolation of a Shania song, both of whom show up here. It’s not a huge problem, but it’s not like he does anything with the songs, just recreates the melody with different words. Most of this album is his typical rap sound with a southern twist, such as “Lone Ranger,” “DMPB,” “Whoa Nelly,” “My Garage,” “Back On That Horse,” and a few others. It’s nothing special, but sometimes the hooks are pretty fun, although that’s about it.

The lyrics on this album, as with every Gravy album, aren’t very good. They’re actually pretty awful a lot of the time, especially on songs like “My Garage,” “Love You For Leavin’,” “White Claw,” “Cop A Truck,” and pretty much everything else here. Some of these songs are just bad period, but the lyrics aren’t even the fun kind of bad, although a few songs get close to that. I didn’t have as much fun with this album as with others from him, and even the last track, which is a remix of Dylan Marlowe’s “Boys Back Home” that features Gravy, is a fun closing track, but it doesn’t really save this.

Is this album one of the worst of the year? Not at all, and it’s actually pretty fun in spots, but the more listens I gave this, the more I realized that this album has some major issues, especially just having some bad songs all around. It’s fun if you can look past some of the bad lyrics, the guests not doing much of anything, or this album feeling like a cowboy cosplay, but if you start to actually think about it, it just doesn’t sit well with me. I don’t hate it, and it’s not one of the worst of the year, but this could have better, for sure.

Rating: 4/5

Book blurb: Red, White and Royal Blue meets Formula 1!

Kian Walker has always been the golden boy of motor sport. The four-time Championship winner has racing in his DNA – his father was a legend on the track, just don’t let him catch you comparing the two. As reckless and unreliable at home as he was behind the wheel, there’s nothing Kian wants less than to be just like his dad.

Enter Harper James. This year’s rookie called up to compete with the big boys – and Kian’s new teammate. Cocky, hot-headed and with a reputation for breaking as many hearts as he does new track records, Harper’s the opposite of Kian in every way. But when the season starts, there’s no getting away from him.

This might be one of the most dangerous sports in the world, so why then does Kian’s heart feel safer flying around the track at 220mph than when he's anywhere near his teammate?

Review:

Queer F1 romance featuring opposing teammates, a golden boy who is a four time Championship winner out to prove he isn't ready to retire and this year's rookie who has a reputation for breaking hearts and setting new track records... forced to be teammates and yet despite how much they get under each other's skin there might be more to it. Kian Walker is the golden boy of motor sport, he's a four-time Championship winner with a father who was a legend on the track... just don't bring up his dad near him ever. Kian is determined to be nothing like his father who lied and cheated on his wife and destroyed their family, he wants to be reliable, to be amazing... yet he's getting older and everyone keeps thinking he is going to retire. Kian is determined to prove them all wrong and win another Championship, yet that all goes out the window when his teammate is injured and he is forced to work with a new driver, someone he absolutely dislikes, Harper James. Harper James is this year's rookie who is determined to make it big. Harper might have scandal after scandal, might be the most reckless, self destructive person who has abandonment issues ever since he was a child bouncing from foster home to foster him, but he is determined to chase his demons away, be it on the race course or with the various partners and parties he has. Harper has a reputation, yet he has always idolized Kian, yet to his shock Kian takes an instant dislike to him. Kian can't stand how reckless Harper is, they are complete opposites and yet the more the fight and argue the more they put themselves at risk and their team at risk of losing. Yet the more they argue and spend time together the more this underlining attraction between them begins to grow... yet can they make it work when they are complete opposites in every way??? With how Harper is afraid of being abandoned and is self destructive while Kian is dealing with family drama and seeing just where his future in F1 is or if this is his final year? Oh I had a blast with this one, as a fan of F1 this was such a delight to read. It definitely gave me Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid vibes and I had fun with it. I adored Kian so much and this book had me tearing up in the end with how much Harper grew and how he worked on his own mental health and getting the help he needed. This was a fun romance read and the romance was cute. It's definitely a fun book to add to your list if you love queer sports romances!

*Thanks Netgalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter | One More Chapter for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review:

Awestruck

Assembing in the kitchen of our airBnB, the boyos scarfed down leftovers and cereal. Blake tackled last night's taco meat like a champ despite waking up with the snifffles. The disease has spread.

Zipping over to Kennedy Space Center, the boys hustled to the bus tour line having learned the night before that it is a must do according to Reddt. The tour takes you around the massive shuttle assembly building via roads lined with canals (where I saw my first gator!) and deposits you at the Saturn V rocket building.

Not really knowing what the Saturn V was, the boys and I went through an introductionary video and mock control room, which simulated the first launch of USA into space. Absolutely incredible. The windows chattering with the rocket launch, the lights flickering on the actual control panels as operator voices echoed simultaneously, you really did feel like you were there in the launch room on such of a historic moment.

Exiting this room with a horde of blind folk, the boys were gob smacked, rounding a corner and coming right up to the massive rear engine boosters of an actual Saturn V rocket above our heads. Jaws dropped as we marveled at the scale and complexity of the machine.

Exploring the area, we encountered another phenomenal theater simulating the moon landing and marveled at the moon rocks, space suits, and lunar buggys around us. Blake and I joked about the Apollo 11 error code 1202 with our own error codes: 8008 for boob and 9009 for making a poop.

Finishing our exploration of Saturn V, the boys bussed back to the main compound and headed into the Atlantis Space Shuttle Building. Representing the next phase of NASA spacecraft, we were treated to another informative video on the origin of the vessel and an appreciation for the decade of engineering to design the shuttle. To our awe once again, after the imerisve shuttle launch video finished, the video screens rolled up to reveal the actual Atlantis space shuttle behind. 🤯

If our brain chunks weren't already sxattered enough, beside the large space shuttle Atlantis was a small glass box containing the actual wood and paper concept model for the shuttle built ten years prior of the first shuttle launch. Having this massive machine and simple model side by side was such an incredible symbol of engineering design to creation. We all agreed how inspirational everything was.

Goofing around, the boys played with space toilets, I reviewed some employment contract details, and we discussed favourite roller coasters while in line for the cockpit launch simulator, another winner. Some somber moments were had looking at the Challenger and Discovery debris and Joel remarked how KSC had you like "Shittttttt" and then the next moment, a quiet and reflective "shit....".

Taking a quiet snooze in the car, some of the boys recuperated as we made the final stretch to Miami Beach: 2200km in total. Discussing the long term debt cycle, toll road uncertainty, the abundance palm trees and canals, and the worst traffic and drivers we've seen thus far, the boys made it to Miami as the sun was setting. Dylan remarked at the endless lawyer billbords such as "I heart my attorney, 300k" and noted: " Half this country's entire economy is lawyers sueing everone".

Our airBnB is in a cool Latin area, and after obtaining some missing sheets, the boys downed some Corona's, slapped each of with tortillas, placed Georgie on the mantel, and head out on the town. Miami Beach is saturated with art Deco and our heads swiveled as we looked at them lit up in the night with color. Miami Beach is bumping.

Sports cars, fancy outfits, mango strip clubs, gangs on ATVs and motor bikes, the place's energy seem to match New York. Things seem full circle. After resting on the grass for a moment to process everything, (#fiveIntroverts) the boys grabbed margaritas and nachos at Oh Mexico. Letting the night fall late to the sound sof Latin musc, we savored reminiscing about the trip while periodically singing Happy birthday in Spanish.

We miss you Ben.

Derek
