Someone posted this picture on FB, and I thought it was photoshopped:
"Would you stand on the 'Thank God Ledge' in Yosemite National Park?"
Though the pic might be photoshopped, the "Thank God Ledge" is a real thing:

Thank God, and trust in Darwin, or should it be vice versa?

@George-K I have such a physical reaction watching those videos. My palms sweat, my calves tinge, and my heart rate increases. The sound of the "wind" in the video doesn't help.
@taiwan_girl That documentary is on my list to watch!

I've seen it, it's entertaining. I google Alex Honnold occasionally, to see what fantastic things he's done lately and if he's died yet.

YOu should. I am not sure if it was in the movie or the article, but one of the training exercises he does it to hang from the molding that goes on the outside of a door frame for 90 minutes at a time to strengthen his fingers. After reading that, I tried it and could not last even 9.0 seconds!!!

They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
