Homeless Daredevil Parachutes into Oklahoma River

Although I’d never want to trade places with the homeless folks who live on our city’s streets, I am a bit envious of the disregard they routinely show for their safety. 

For example, I wish I had to guts to just cross a street wherever and whenever I wanted – or push a giant shopping cart down May Ave. – and assume incoming traffic will either stop or move over for me. Doing that takes a level of bravery and courage that I don’t – and probably never will – have. 

I was reminded of this yesterday when I read about Zachary Magee. He caused a scene when he used a homemade parachute to jump off a bridge into the Oklahoma River.
