The First 70 years of childhood is always the hardest.
My advice on aging gracefully... ride fast bikes and date faster women, drink good tequila, practice your draw daily, be honest and fair in your dealings, but suffer not fools. Eat a hearty breakfast, and remember, ALL politicians are crooks.

 I believe that pilot may have done that once or twice.  I was on a fire in Southern California back in 1987.  They were restringing one of these high voltage lines after the fire caused it to break.  The lineman would stand on the skids of the helicopter and fly tower to tower.  He would step off and do his work, then recall the helicopter and fly to the next tower.  Not sure he had anything on these guys.  Impressive all the same.
