Old fool. Shouldn't be doing dangerous stunts like this at his age (66).

Lucky he didn't get stuck in a tree in a yard with a couple of pit bulls.

They would have got him down.

LOL!

A parachute has ever been ruled by the winds. I think it's another dumb epic fail gadget.

Really went out on a limb.

I think my children would call this an epic fail. Bless his heart, give him credit for having the *gumption* to do it, or too much consumption.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Libra

Someone is convinced they're in the right under the Lunar Eclipse, and they don't care how they get their point across. If there's trouble in your neighborhood, get it sorted out by putting your thoughts down in a blog, or on paper. Don't let anyone, even siblings, treat you like this, even if you balk at standing your ground under this moody cloud. Travel plans may be upset, and spiritual pursuits, and dealings with foreigners or people of other cultures is subject to pressure too.
