freefall
Strange sensation. Not too much like falling. More like sticking your head out the window of a fast moving car. Jump was at 13,000 feet with a freefall of 60 seconds. speed of fall is around 120 miles an hour. EEEEEHAAAA!
Found the most amazing waterfalls in Oregon. Went for a 7.5 mile hike in the snow with 8 waterfalls over a hundred feet tall, a number of which you could walk behind. To give you a sense of scale, look to the lower left hand corner of the pic above and you will see my friend.
The correct way to start every morning (one of about 50 of my father's pets). Back in Cali for a spell. Flew Jet Blue. I can never sleep on planes, so was forced to watch TV to kill the time. Thing is, my tv didn't work, but the audio did, so I peered through the crack of the seats in front of me to watch whatever the woman seated there was watching. I flipped through my audio channels to try to find the channel she was watching. I've come to the conclusion that the woman had Attention Deficit Syndrome.
In the course of an hour, I watched boxing, Ferris Buehler's Day Off (the principal looks like James Elkins), A history channel documentary on prostitutes, Iron Chef America (ingredient Citrus), the home raising of an orphaned black panther (the animal not the activist), and Saturday Night Live (Alec Baldwin impersonating Tony Bennett). Beginning a road trip to Oregon today.
