There seem to be a lot of people dying recently. Friends, acquantainces, people you just read about online.
Some people die fast of a fall climbing or whatever. Doesn't have to be climbers, my uncle caught a fish, had a heart attack and was dead in a minute. To me this is the same as dying in a climbing accident - doing what you love and over quickly.
I was just looking at some of the WTC jumper photos and what can I say - I would way rather die quickly, of rockfall, a lightning strike or whatever, than die slowly of senility in an old folks' home or of cancer in a hospital. It must have taken a lot of courage to throw yourself out of one of the collapsing towers in order to die quickly of impact rather than being burned to death.
Thank you for listening. Now back to our regularly scheduled spray.
