The first Black man of any nation to solo-circumnavigate the world via all the Capes, William “Bill” Pinkney died on August 31, 2023 at the age of 87 in Atlanta, GA.
There are about 234 recorded single-handed sailors who have taken their vessels around the world. Of that number there are only six who have taken their vessels around the five Southernmost Capes, or points of land. Of those six there is only one African Descendant who has taken his vessel around those last points of solid land that forms our earth and that man is the 165th sailor to do it, Captain William Pinkney and his vessel was a heavily built production cutter rigged sloop he named Commitment.
Those five most Southern Capes are the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, Cape Leeuwin in Australia, Tasmania’s Southwest Cape, New Zealand’s Stewart Island Cape and the dreaded Cape Horn.
Shrooms is more of a mental thing. Weed is more of a body thing. It's no wonder they can enhance one another easily. But, unlike with weed, shrooms can get you higher by itself than weed. Adding weed into the equation though...
I have some interesting ideas to try out in the future. 😄
Wanted to support a local HS football game last night in East Baltimore. Dunbar High School (of noted national basketball recognition) and Loyola College (a historically racist private institution of wealth and entitlement). Standing room only crowd. The score was 21-0 at halftime, Loyola. Just as the 2nd half began, a kid across the street from the field, let go approx 7-10 rounds from what sounded like a Glock .40 cal at someone he was beefing with. Pandamonnium ensued! Players ran off the field, spectators stampeded the exits! A damn out of control mess! The kid with the gun was running down the middle of the street chasing somebody holding the gun in his hand openly, with the police chasing his ass. Friday night lights in East Baltimore! We are our own worst enemy.
