Well, Buzz Lighthair of Ron Smiths Command's adventure in skydiving ended almost before it began. Turns out a perforated eardrum obtained during a brawl in a parking lot has left him succeptable to changes in atmospheric pressure, so on his second time down he blacked out and started bleeding from his nose and ears.
I shouldn't laugh, because obviously blood coming out of your ears = serious, but I can't help it. This is pretty much exactly what Brother Jonathan predicted would happen if Ben went up too high - of course, the way he phrased it was more along the lines of "I bet his massive head explodes" and came between my betting he wouldn't get to jump because his giant head wouldn't fit through the doors of the plane and Wilhelm suggesting that he employ a second parachute to support hisoversized cranium.
Anyway, apart from that, today was another day of train-related "joy" - and I use sarcastic quote marks - involving a six mile an hour ride in a dining car from Grossmont to Pickering while being forced to eat some truly undelicious food. Seriously, I would swallow my own head right about now, I am so hungry.
