The distance up to that passing
cloud seems like quite a hike. If I
didn’t have a fear of heights, I’d go for it.
I can’t really tell from here how fast it is going. I haven’t got any point of reference, so I’m
guessing I couldn’t walk a straight line up to it. I would have to walk at some calculated angle
to compensate for its direction of travel.
None of this, however, takes
footwear type into account. Boots would
be too heavy and only add to my fight against gravity. Flip-flops and slippers are out of the
question. For one thing, I can’t stand
those flip-flops that have that piece of rubber between your toes. That would drive me nuts. Not sure who came up with that design, but I
hate it.
Should this adventure be
successful, what do I do once I’m there?
I doubt sitting down to rest would be an option. The other consideration is all the things we
don’t see from down here looking up. You
hear about this from the people taking rides in hot-air balloons. Floating spider webs, complete with spiders. Bugs of all sorts flying around. You’ll want to keep your mouth closed.
Maybe I’ll rethink this whole
thing.
