I choose 'To Fly' also. You have your wit going on big time lately, you've produced such clever and amusing writes. Coming to read you is like going out for entertainment. You bless me that way as of late. THANK you ... CayCay

This image is very thought provoking. It ends in a very down to earth image. Beware stunts gone bad.

Anne-Lise, I remember seeing this act at a circus. Hopefully, the net is in the right place. The acceleration of the person must be something to experience. I wonder how many g's? The idea of stretching the rubber band further makes me think about taking risks and not understanding limitations. On the other hand, some people love pushing the envelope as far as they can. Smiles!!
