Just east of Greeley Colorado, a new attraction for the farmland community has opened up.

Rocky Mountain Skydive Grand opening!

Just south of Greeley in the Eaton Valley resides a small airstrip. Surrounded by fields upon fields makes this the perfect location for the Rocky Mountain Skydive club to open up shop. I followed along with a small group of daring individuals as they experienced their first jumps.

Many Greeley residents agree that the Rocky Mountain Skydive Location is sure to bring many seeking the ultimate thrill.

Ron Ross, Owner/Publisher of TidBits was one of those daring enough to make the dive. At age 73 Ron decided that he was going to skydive along side his close friends. His family as well as many friends and the Greeley Tribute Gathered in support of Ron as he crossed an item off of his bucket list. When Ron was asked why he was skydiving his only response was "well, I am certainly not getting any younger".

The anxiety was starting to fill for everyone, including those who where bystanders. "This morning I woke up with butterflies in my stomach and ever since I have been trying to get them to fly in formation" said Ron while being interviewed by the Greeley Tribute.

Ron grew up in a family with flying in their blood. Ron was one of the first that did not carry on the tradition of flight. In an interview before the flight Ron explained that he never felt the need to jump out of a perfectly good plane but he still wanted to accomplish this item from his bucket list before he was too old.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
