If I want an endorphin rush, I'll para solo out of a plane about 5-6 thousand feet ! Now that's an endorphin rush never to be missed. Particularly do it a few days after your 65th birthday. And trust me, you'll never miss any endorphins after that. ;-) Don't ask did I take a camera? No! I figured I had enough to think about on a virgin jump without carrying a camera. But within moments after the chute opened and I was floating to the ground I cursed myself for not bringing one. And no there wont be a next time, as I figure I made it 99.999% OK at 65. So why would I be crazy enough to push my luck and try it again at 75! ;-) Besides she who must be obeyed offered the next time option of .... "Even if you land safely, be assured I will kill you!" :-) I'm well aware I'm a tad crazy but I'm not that crazy to die by her hands! :-) :-) Cycling in freezing temps? Not on yer life no matter how wooly warm one can be. I'll take para jumping first. ;-) So there you go eh? ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
