I have been running around the city, a bottle of wine under one arm and a bowl of potato salad under the other, indulging in what can only be described as barbecue madness. People are going absolutely wild with barbecues, and I get it. A barbecue is fun, casual, delicious, and primal. Gathering around the fires of human ingenuity, the light of invention and sustenance, calms the nerves and awakens some comforting part of our psyche from ages long past that heaves a sigh of relief and thinks, I have built a fire and evaded the mammoth yet again, time to break bread with my fellow people. Enough of that! What’s on the docket today? LGBTQ-friendly travel destinations, a curry chicken recipe, the fall of the happy hour (say it ain’t so!), and the best waterproof beach accessories. I am off to follow the call of the wild once more. I’ll see you tomorrow!

Not only is this footage stunning and crystal clear, Juno is catching it from only 2,050 miles away and Jupiter is rotating way faster than Earth, so the spacecraft has to go pretty fast too. This is all very cool, of course, but when is NASA going to make history by sending me up to Jupiter to shoot some influencer shots? Now that would be headline-worthy.
