New Jersey, 6 May 1937

Jim got #524!

At the risk of appearing morbid I'm including this archive video of the Hindenburg disaster. It's a silent film but you can get a feel for how massive this thing really was. Unfortunately it requires Quicktime, and it loads a little slowly.

It's rumored that Japan will invade Shanghai soon, but this ex-diplomat is too world-weary to concern himself with that. He plans to open his own business, and she's a part of that plan.
