I know I am probably the last person in US and Canada not to have a Facebook account, and according to my friends I don’t really exist until I exist on Facebook, but personally I neither enjoy for just about anyone one the WWW to have access to all of my info, nor do I think anything I do is interesting enough for others to follow.

Poopoo point (Paragliding launch area)

But I am telling you he definitely showed that tree whose the boss. He was pretty pissed too, apparently its $300 just to get the shoot out of the tree to find out whether or not its ruined. The paragliding looks pretty fun and majestic and all, but i am WAY to chicken to try it. I will park my butt on the solid ground where a little gust of wind can’t move me.
