Slappie 9 #1 June 20, 2002 I used to look up to the sky and wonder things, like how high those clouds were? What would it feel to float through one? ect...Now that I've become a skydiver [and does one "become" a skydiver of is it something that was destined to happen] I find myself staring into the sky daydreaming of clouds. I was on my way to lunch and was driving down the road looking up at some of the most beautiful clouds I've seen in awhile. Houston is in a partly-cloudy day with chances of thundershowers so the thunder heads on the horizon are beautiful. I wonder now what those supercells look like from the top.I know pilots fly but it's not the same as skydiving. Kinda like driving a car and trying to compare it to riding a motorcycle. You can't compare it. The feelings of freedom and joy that come from a great jump are nothing one can put into words. At least not me anyways..

Slappie 9 #7 June 20, 2002 Ok guys, you've seemed to misunderstand my thoughts. I wasn't talking about jumping through them. I would if I had the chance, I was talking about what they looked like. The beauty in them. What it feels like to fly with them. How high the peaks are ect....."You must first be a sheep, before you can lead the sheep" - Albert Einstien Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #11 June 20, 2002 A couple weeks ago, we broke through a cloud layer, and above us was totally blue skies and below us, all you could see were big mounds of clouds that looked like a layer of popcorn. It was so beautiful! I turned to one guy and asked what kind of clouds they were, searching for a scientific name. He told me they were "white puffies". Gee, thanks!AndreaI'm high as a kiteI just mightStop and check you out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebazz1 2 #12 June 20, 2002 I was kidding around. Dude I so would go through a cloud if mister/miss FAA wasn't watching me anyday. In a f'n heartbeat..... First thing I do anytime I step outside is guage the wind, observe the skies, and locate big puffiesSweat pick BTW...........I am 2% Serious.........98% um what was I talking about?Sebazz........
