Not related to amateur astronomy other than Patrick was involved...
So after completing the ATM session on Saturday, I and family headed out to Tooele to watch my oldest son skydive for the first time. As I walked through the hangar that houses Skydive Utah, I came across our own Patrick Wiggins who was packing his 'chute. As it turned out, he was jumping on the same flight that my son was on. It was great to talk to Patrick and it was great that he was on the same flight as my son. If any of you have ever thought of skydiving, I was impressed by Skydive Utah. They were very professional and yet personable. I myself will likely give it a try once my youngest ones get a little older. I do other, somewhat risky things like rock climbing, caving, etc., so I don't want to press my luck.

Jumping out of an airplane on purpose? Was it on fire? ;-)

Nope, we just opened the door. :) BTW, I maneuvered in close just after leaving the plane and saw Mat's kid had a HUGE grin on his face. And Mat, do you really want to wait until your kids grow? My mother started jumping when I was 15. Just think how many fewer jumps she might have made had she waited until I was older. Clear skies! patrick
