OHSONOFABITCH

Not dat globe but DAT GLOBE.

Literally.

My great aunt Marge was the curator of the FDR Museum and Library (ironic, as she was a lifelong booster of Reagan and lived to a hundred-and-flipping-three). We visited when I was in like 7th grade. And I fell in love with literally that globe.

It's probably the source of my lust for maps.

Literally.

The one in the photo.

Which is why I can tell you that you can buy a 40-inch...

...but if you want a 50-inch it's custom.

So jealous. I am the kind of guy that still buys paper maps wherever I go. And keeps them forever. If I only had an extra $15K laying around to spend on a globe my life would be complete.
