jumpinfarmer 0 #1 December 24, 2003 This morning I had to visit the lumber yard for what else lumber. Wile loading the truck the guy helping me saw my USPA sticker on the rear window. He excitedly asked if I was a skydiver. When I answered yes he got more excited and started asking questions. I answered in a kind of mater of fact way I didn't want to act like I knew it all. He went on to say that he was planing to jump this comming summer and couldn't wait. Apparently he knows a jumper because he was asking about the beer laws and other lesser known facts of the sport. When I was loaded and he signed my recipt I wished him a Merry Christmas and to that he replied "same to you and blue skies" with a thums up as I drove away.

newsstand 0 #7 December 25, 2003 Other than playing in the sky myself the best thing about being at the DZ is seeing the tandems come off the landing area. No one shows more joy than them.
