Meanwhile, progress on SLS in Huntsville AL is moving about as fast as their wait for hurricane Dorian.

That would be an enormous “hop”. The F9 Grasshopper test vehicle never flew above 744 m / 2,440 ft as far as I know.
I agree. Although this does not necessarily mean we are a month away from launch:
...or does it? ;-)
Yeah NET Oct 13.
Optimistically, the Starship update was planned to be scheduled around when Mk1 was built with legs and fins, so maybe sooner rather than 2020?
Yes, you are.
The structure has the strength and ribs to be self supporting.

You just take a tool and start playing the giant steel drum you have there to the tune of P.I.M.P. by 50 cent and watch as everything opens up perfectly to produce stairs and then you walk down like you own the place.

Bit of an offbeat story. Our family has been calling water towers Zebulon's for more than 10 years. We don't see many of them in the northeast, but on a trip to South Carolina our young son started noticing and was impressed by their sheer size. By the time we reached Zebulon, NC he was convinced we were driving towards the mothership. That alien sounding name stuck. At least now he's older, so not too freaked out by actually seeing one of these things fly!
The town appears to have several water towers, not sure if this is the one that grabbed his attention.

Its just so weird to me to have the future of space flight technology, from such an impressive company...in something that looks like I could build it (OK, maybe that's a stretch). I keep expecting them to peel off the outside and there is this beautify thing inside, but I know that isn't going to happen. It will be even crazier to see this think fly. Cray times. Just gotta trust they know what they are doing I guess.

This is starting to feel quite real! Both pieces, and the giant crane to assemble them.
