....we flew through space for 48 hours. I felt so bad for J, having to spend that insane amount of time crunched up behind me. I could feel him fidgeting and shifting behind me trying to get some kind of comfort. I was just trying to keep the bomber on the path back home without ejecting us out or something. Besides the fact that it's...well, a fucking space bomber, everything was pretty simple. Controls were laid out like a common Cessna. I think the stick was even from the Cessna I was trained in. I really didn't wanna try to take my chances and find out just how similar they were, though. Finally we got above earth. It was time to enter earth's atmosphere, and there's no way it's gonna be as smooth as exiting in the Starlight One. I tell J to hold onto something and go in. Okay, so the space shuttle used to re-enter by basically belly-flopping into the atmosphere. I can't think of anything else, So that's what I gotta try. I set the angle and the bomber shakes like crazy. The inside gets hot and I could even see the glow outside the canopy. I just concentrate and try to keep everything together. After what felt like too damn long, the shaking finally stops and I can put it in a proper flight angle. The re-entry slowed us down pretty good but we were still going too fast for any runway to land on. I start banking in a circle to try and slow us down more. The angle of the bank let me look out and see just where we were above earth. Looked like a desert. Saw a city not far away though so there's really no other choice. I muster up whatever courage I have left and go in for a landing. As I get closer and closer to the surface I take a guess where the landing gear is. I don't hear anything in the bomber move. I try another button and hear some metallic squeaking behind me. I should've hear something in front of me move too if it was the gear. Before I get try another though I pancake it. Fuck, we're still booking it, too. If we don't break up grinding across the desert floor we'll at least stop quicker. At this point I'm scared out of my mind so I just close my eyes and wait for it to stop. When it does I feel like I'm in a dream for a second. Probably from just disbelief that we actually survived that. That I landed a Nazi goddamn space bomber in the middle of a desert without gear. That we actually escaped the moon. That we're still alive. But yet...here we are...

This is so simple and delicious "Honigkuchen" (a spiced honey bread with almonds and candid orange). In the rhine region of Germany and in the Netherlands this is also a typical breakfast bread throughout the year.

Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

Un sujet toujours aussi joli à regarder.
The female downy woodpecker can be striking, even in simple black and white dress :-)

The wonderful thing about children is that they appreciate the simple pleasures in life, like splashing in muddy puddles.
"There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."
The flowers look beautiful, and I love flowers, so there's a beautiful joyous smile on my face. It's all so simple. Some people seek happiness at the other side of the world or in complicated ways, yet often happiness is just easy and very close to you. Like my dress; happiness can't get closer than that. Or right in front of you, like these lovely flowers.
Loved watching and photographing the skateboarding (on my doorstep in the old Tallinn boot factory).
