That was beautiful.
Wonder where the camera was when the geese were flying around.
And I suppose we are all waiting now for that thundercloud!

Yes, that line is one of the reasons I love this so much. It's an amazing song, so appropriate. Could 2016 suck any more? (don't answer)

I know they've put cameras on gliders to film birds in flight, not sure if that was done here.

The birds did not seem panicked by something strange in their midst. Amazing how hard their flying is when you see it so closely. There is an awful lot of effort going into every stroke.
The images go well with the lyrics.

It is a bad year. Apart from the political chaos, that is two of our lifetime heroes gone now.

They're finishing the vote count and it looks like Clinton won it by 2 million or so votes--1.5 percentage points higher than Trump. But she won't be President. How are we supposed to process this? It's not like Trump is vaguely unpleasant but acceptable alternative. He's vicious, he's insane, he's a bigot and a sexual predator. And ignorant as fuck. I still get sick when I think about it.

It's a holiday here too today. Maybe we should go out and see a movie or something. Haven't seen Dr Strange yet.

I saw the news a few minutes ago. The song will be for him as well. A sad day.
