Zip-A-Dee-Do-Da

We went ziplining today. We've done this before in Central Texas, but much as I hate to admit it, that was nothing compared to this one. Some of the runs were several hundred feet above the ground and a quarter of a mile long. Terminal velocity was around 40 MPH. I usually don't have a problem with heights, but a couple of times it felt like making love for the first time - terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.

The weather has remained constant - overcast and rainy. We've been here four days and only seen the sun for brief stretches. Fortunately, the timing has worked out so that it rains while we're indoors and stops, except for a little drizzle every once in a while, when we go out. I blame this on obama vacationing here at the same time. He brings doom and gloom wherever he goes.

Speaking of obama, still no sign of his birth certificate. I'll keep looking...
