feels so vast

re: the planes and the tribute,
it's not part of the plan, i think it is more that that's the flight path, it happens every couple of minutes or so,
yes,
quite disturbing
but i never see anyone else alluding to it

what was the guy at the parade selling?
flags from various countries in the caribbean,
since the parade includes so many different countries
displaying one's colors is a big part of it
