A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

That's what they are saying now.

FOXNews.com - Police Rule Plane Jumper's Death a Suicide - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News

My favorite line from that article is "An autopsy on Sunday found that the cause of death was massive trauma". I instantly thought "Ya think??"

Sad story though... hate to see anyone hit that point. (Edit- no pun intended.)

Not to derail but I wouldn't necessarily call him "stupid" or deserving to be "filtered from the gene pool".

Never forget that what problems one man can shrug off could destroy another man.

Everyone has a trigger and/or a limit... the bad part is that it's a secret to all of us until it's activated.
