What's all this talk I hear about ...

1. What's all this talk about thin air. While I was laying on a bench trying to catch my breath and looking up into the sky for what I thought might be the last time, it occurred to me: This so-called thin air looks exactly the same as regular air.
2. The water swirling around in the opposite direction when you flush the toilet is not nearly as exciting as I'd thought it would be.
3. The first couple of mornings I woke up with a low-grade headache and rubbery legs. Somebody said I had a mild case of altitude sickness. I think it was because I am in the southern hemisphere so the blood was pooling in my head and now I am acclimated to that.
