Those bucket list books, "100 Things to do Before You Die" are depressing and bad gifts. You're probably never going to do all the recommended things, most of which are filler anyway, and they usually involve traveling to far away places for no reason other than to pose in a photograph and say "I wuz here."
Include walking in Washington Heights while white and you have a great list of things I am not going to do. Just sayn'
There were more pictures, but, they didn't make it thru the email.
I don't know what happened.
When Alex Rodrigues gets his parade you'll be right there cheering him on. Who are you kidding Trooper?
I would only cheer him on if he set himself on fire at third base like a Buddhist Monk.
That I can get behind.
You are 45% more likely to get murdered in NYC under Mayor Bill De Blasio.
The New York Post has all the details. A great story to blog about.
If you want to do something death defying you just have to live in NYC.
I've only done one of those things...the extreme skiing, and in Wyoming no less...BUT n-e-v-e-r on a vertical wall like in the photo. My best was probably not steeper than a 60 degree angle, may be steeper for short bits in the chutes, but never near vertical like that crazy man is trying.
These days I pay for those grand days of immortal youth, with a few vertebrae rather compressed and when I do something silly it lights me up....but I still recall the exhilarating thrill and pleasure of making to the bottom intact...when I did. Dang...being old sucks! :-)
Wanna try it? Begin with the upper chutes on top of Jackson Hole and go crazy from there.
Fortunately I am already old.
What's old, Lem, forty?
Did you post these harrowing pictures just to torture us acrophobics?
Yes, I'm certain you did. Not nice, Lem, not nice at all.
Anxiety free travel is on my bucket list. That's got to happen once before I die.
#1 on my bucket list, say "Hello" to my great grandchild. I don't have grandkids yet, so it gives you an idea of my expectations.
I wouldn't have done any of those when I was 18. I don't get the thrill of almost falling off a cliff or great height. Hang gliding or Sky diving I can understand.
This? Nope.
There is a Toronto-based Canadian blogger named "Raymi the Minx" (Lauren White) who has done the Toronto tower bit in her mid 20s..
PS: I had enough thrills in one combat mission over Hanoi--let alone 100--to last a lifetime of a thousand people doing every single one of those "challenges." Thanks but no thanks, I've had enough "exposure time" in one combat tour to last a lifetime. A totally sedentary "Ferdinand the Bull" time for this little Indian..nothing left to prove..
Smell the flowers

EVERY day, brother, every day..
Stupid is the best way not to fulfill your bucket list.
All of those look like fun. I might do the skywalk, but probably would chicken out. When I was younger, I would have done that. I've looked down some ski slopes like that too, then backed off and took an easier route.
