the ejection seat
today, my brother and i were slingshot 120+ feet up into the air. rel
atively early in the afternoon. the rush works a hell of a lot better than coffee, i
can tell you that much.
so basically, it was flippin tubular. we didn't spin that much, which was a bummer, but on that first fall we were facing the ground so you can imagine how that was. i screamed like a maniac.
it was pretty sweet.
also pretty sweet was seeing a dim aurora maybe half an hour ago. it got suddenly cold tonight - like november cold in the city - and it was clear, and my dad was saying how it was a good night for an aurora when there it was...no color, just this pale banner hanging in the sky. i thought it was the milky way but it couldn't have been that close and big. so there you go. human slingshot & a summer aurora all in one day...both of them being firsts.
and the timing couldn't have been better, you know?
