how can this be?

Somebody jumped from the center span of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge yesterday and survived. She landed 100' from a Coast Guard boat who picked her up and took her to a nearby marina, where she was treated for cuts and back pain.

Cuts and back pain? How can someone jump from a 200' bridge into water and get away with cuts and back pain? I don't begrudge this person her survival, but why couldn't everyone get away from that bridge with cuts and back pain?

i read that too. and it made me think horrible thoughts about maybe someone else floating there in the water, in pain, maybe regretting his choices.

sorry about your tooth & foot pains. I hadn't read your blog in a while.
