Dear Daisy
As a concerned viewer I have one piece of advice. FREAKING MOVE!!!!!!! somewhere, any where it can only get better.

Actually, upon reflection, that might not be true. Given the political situation, that may be the safest place to be in Colombia.

Those kids are probably safer than kids riding the school bus in some districts in the US

If they opened that up to the public in a year they'd have enough money to buy a bridge.

Can't be any more dangerous than the freeways around here as you're the only one on the rope at a given time.

The older I get the less I'd like to do "fun" things like that.

How long has that cable been there? How securly is it anchored? When was the last time someone competant inspected it?
When I was about 20 I went deer hunting in a national forest. I found a very old deer stand. Old 2x4s, big nails, perched precariously about 20 feet up a tree. Been there God knows how long. Like an idiot, I climbed it. I sat there for about 5 minutes, and shifted around to look behind me. I heard a creak and a snap. Let me tell you, you would be amazed at how fast a white boy can descend 20 feet.
I do not not trust super annuated redneck ingenuity.

I've been roped off to much worse.

WHO CARES!!!!!!! What, do you plan to live forever? I say screw that. I'm gonna do all the crazy stuff I can cause the purpose of life is not to arrive at the pearly gates all perfectly preserved. You should be sliding in sideways battered and abused screaming "what a ride!"  I have said this a few times, (to the shock and disgust of people who care about me) but I truly hope that my last thought on this earth is "oops" After all, when the mistake is big enough, the pain only lasts for a second. And if it doesn't kill me it just gives me the opportunity to get sponge baths from cute college nursing students.  ;)
