zip-line fun

"A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short." ~Bertrand Russell

Zip-lines are trending on google today, wtf? About a week ago, Venice Beach announced they'd be installing a zip-line for tourists, immediately after the South Park zip-lining episode a few weeks prior to that showcasing how supposedly boring zip-lining is. I have to assume those two incidents are related, but LO AND BEHOLD! down in Georgia, flesh-eating bacteria started eating some girl's flesh after she contracted the disease from a zip-lining incident. I've never had a bad time zip-lining. In times past, I'd thought of adding it to my hobbies or interests, in fact. When you feel that wind whipping at your face, blowing through your hair and you know there's nothing between you and the ground but some steel wire and maybe a harness, you feel free like you've never felt free before. Flying majestically through the tree-tops or sand-dunes (?) to arrive safely at the other end of the zip-line where all you can think about is "again, again!"

TheWick is updating regularly, doing his thing. Actually, if you're reading this, check it out and email him any and all questions you have. He wants to do some Q&A style posts and last I checked he hadn't responded to any of my questions. I'm pretty curious so I had a few. Seriously, spam his inbox, he'll love it.

I posted a tragedy, of sorts, today over on pre-war. Hopefully, The Charmed Life of Francis MacComber will give you a better idea of the kind of material for that site. Ain't no happy ending this time though.
