Drop Trou? - 21 July 2021 - Plague Journal Day 496

Micah 6:8
Psalm 81:1-3
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

What a day 21 July is! On that date in 1948, Cat Stevens was born. Then, on Cat's 21st birthday, 21 July 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon. He stepped out of the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander onto the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon. (No, he didn't walk on water.) As he stepped off the lander's foot, Armstrong spoke those famous words, "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." As he re-entered the lander after that first walk, he spoke his other famous words, "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky." And thereby hangs a tale. Look it up.

Oh, still wondering why I matched up Cat Stevens and the Moon landing? Here's why!

Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
