Re: OFF TOPIC -Hanoi Jane anti-war bus tour

Absolutely. I won't ever forget my first jump off the 13 ft high dive. I was
8 years old and just jumped feet first not knowing how important to point my
toes. Jarred every bone in my body. I had jumped off at 20 feet when I was 5
at our local rock quarry on the lake and in diving position so had never had
the "concrete" experience, but that is exactly the analogy I've always
used...was like hitting concrete....ugh I still remember it 20 years later
like it was yesterday.
