QuadraLand Part 2
When last we left our intrepid explorer we were looking at possible poor Perry-winkle performance from paralysis. The answer to that $25,000 question is “yes”. While the market is still down I’m hoping to get a stimulus package one day.
One of the things I miss most is not being able to skydive. There's nothing like being on the morning load, sitting next to the open door of the plane and seeing the morning sun reflect on the tops of the clouds. A sunset load is also pretty sweet. Of course a highway jump is pretty nice too. You haven’t seen the sky until you’ve flown through the canyons of the clouds with your skydiving buddies.
Along with the jumping I will also miss the people. Every weekend was always fun. The parties on the weekend always produced a very interesting side story. As soon as the sun set the stupid human tricks started. How many stories started off with “Hold my beer. Watch this.” Whether it be bonfire walking, human slingshot, or the tricycle of death we always had good times.
In the won't miss category is being crammed into a plane with 22 of my closest friends on a 100 degree day for twenty plus minutes while we climb to altitude. Mmmm, Mmmm, good. You’ve got to love that skydiver B.O.
Now for a couple of things that I think are overrated. Standing, overrated. Standing in line, any line, is forever gone from my agenda. That's not to say that I don't have to wait in line. I just get to sit in line. Sweeeet. Believe it or not I now think that walking is somewhat overrated. Being able to roll everywhere with a touch of a button is also pretty sweet.
Not to mention that this new chair tilts back like a recliner. Imagine having your own easy chair everywhere you go. Next time the wife or girlfriend makes you go shopping just roll over to the electronics department, tilt back and watch the game. Borrow a BBQ grill from home and garden, get some chips, some beer, and a few more dudes in wheelchairs and you have a man cave. Who says that being in a wheelchair is all bad?
Other benefits to being in a wheelchair are getting to park near the entrance wherever you go. You never have to open another door. No matter how much walking around there is to do, you'll never be the one who gets tired first. No matter how much you drink you'll never get a DWI or fall down drunk, or lose your seat at the bar because you had to go to the bathroom. Okay well, that's really about it as far as advantages. See, it's the little things in life that make it so much fun.
