When you have to jump off buildings to get peoples attention, you’re doing something very wrong.

Nearby my home in Lodi was a parachute / jump club. Nearly every weekend one could see participants floating down over the farmland of grape vineyards towards the airport. As a kid I thought that would be fun to try. That is until my father made a comment: "Sure it probably is fun. But why jump out of a perfectly good airplane?"
