Far Lands or Bust! #404

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ukFJbPT-d0

Current distance from Kurt: 118 episodes. No change!

The day begins with a 404 mention! The title of the video comes in to play with Wolfie as we'll see soon.

During the first day Kurt talks about local weather and space weather and how he'd love to see the aurora borealis and a solar eclipse.

At one stage he places a floating piece of cobblestone just above a bit of grass! So magical!

He also talks a bit more about the rumoured Mojang buyout. He's taking it in his stride.

Donator Jawes ("Jaws", not "Jah-ways"! and Kurt humorously chants the John Williams score) asks "The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. I have decided to donate to promote awareness. Would you take a few minutes to discuss ALS and why awareness and donations are important?"

He talks about it a little and also about the Ice Bucket Challenge. The stunt part isn't for him but he's in favour of the good cause. As for me, well, over here it's better known as Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and I knew someone who passed away from it within the past couple of years so I support the cause too. Like Kurt though, the stunt part of it isn't something I'd personally do. I think it was a cool thing though(in every sense of the word).

Donator Roz asks "What's the city Chicago like? What can I expect?"

Kurt answers that you can expect no seasons and weird weather extremes! Kind of like here too, where you can get all seasons in one day. He's not a big fan of the big built up city with old buildings and scaffolding and the claustrophobic aspect. He recommends areas outside the centre of the city for visiting. He gives good advice for pizza though, including the gluten-free variety and for sightseeing. Well worth heeding his advice!
