Well it's my birthday today and I am old as hell! 28 years now. Still got a bit until I hit the truly scary 30! Don't really have anything big planned for my birthday. Been playing iRacing and then tonight I'm having dinner with my dad, so that'll be nice.
Also for Formula 1 fans, they'll know this day as the anniversary of Ayrton Senna's tragic death back in Imola 1994. This happened a day after another driver, Roland Ratzenberger had died during qualifying. In the aftermath of Senna's crash, they found an Austrian flag in the car. Ayrton had planned to wave it after the race to honor Ratzenberger. Although we lost a wonderful human being, Formula 1 drastically improved safety in the sport and since then, we've only had one other fatal accident since 1994. Senna Sempre
Christ, I miss being 28.
I remember hearing the news about Senna back in 1994 when I as an undergrad student. I have never followed Formula 1 and it still shook me.
