but as I get older and see how fragile life is, I have less and less patience for thrill seekers of all sorts, including bungee jumpers, people who run with the bulls, Xtreme anything athletes, cliff divers and skydivers as well. Too many people struggling just to make it through each day, while other people spend large amounts of time, energy and, of course, money to put their lives at risk doing things that serve no useful purpose.
