My son loves the CDI youtube channel. No voiceover, nothing but buildings, bridges, and other things being demolished. It was a good find.

There were acrobats. Due to a mix-up, they were inside the building. But they were fantastic.

It takes a rare skill to lock the camera view for a seven minute performance so that almost all of the fireworks explode out of view.

Not that it isn’t spectacular, but this happened 12 years ago. Why feature it here, now?

I remember Gramps. Once hit 12 straight races.

We, collectively, harken back to simpler times.

The world was imploding by design, but for reconstructive purpose.

Those were good times.

Good times.

This video could be called “capitalism”

It’s funny because Norleans couldn’t manage this with the hardrock. Good booms come dear it seems.

It just makes me sad wondering, “Why can’t it always be like this?”
