    "America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers." -- William S. Burroughs

    I've heard that in some places you can actually see the ISS passing by overhead with the naked eye. It's only about 250 miles up, but I've never seen it. Maybe because of light pollution.

    That thing fucking flies. Orbits the entire planet every 90 minutes!

    It's really easy to find when you what time it is coming by. Takes a steady minute or 3 to cross the sky, steady as a motherfucker. Sometimes its viewable a few days in a row, sometimes it has a week or two in between when you can see it, but it always shows up, exactly when it is supposed to.
