| Cool! I've been fascinated with the idea of a space elevator since I read Arthur C. Clarke's The Fountains of Paradise. It's a novel about an engineer who designs and spearheads the construction of a space elevator at Sri Lanka. (They have to be tethered to a geosynchronous satellite, and Sri Lanka is one of the places on land where that can be accomplished.) |

Has Achieved Nirvana
| At 9000 feet water boils at 195F. My home is just below that. The air is thinner. Doctors have questioned why I have not moved to a lower altitude due to asthma. I reply that at around 10,500 I become supercharged and have skied up to huts at 11,400 feet leaving the others far behind. They don't have an answer. I should be an astronaut.
