This was a few years ago and I think it's been done more times since then. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose.

Not saying it’s not insane, though...especially with a wife and kid in his life. I find skydiving fascinating, but pretty sure my time on the big blue marble will pass without ever having done it. 🐔 Fear the crabcat.

Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated." Thomas Paine
