High five!
Skydivers are MASTERS of all kinds of handshakes, slapping and gesturing. Watch any plane on jump run, and you’ll see. We have often thought about putting together a little video featuring the most common/elaborate/silly/crazy/impossible handshakes to feature. Maybe we should get that done this summer… maybe we should a competition and give the winning slappers a couple of free jumps? Hm.
Anyway. Back to the point. Today is National High Five day. April 19th. Makes no sense, but there it is. Being a nation of slappers (and not in the British slang kind of way), we should celebrate.
If you aren’t sure of the details, you can head to Wikipedia for the definition:
The high five is a celebratory hand gesture that occurs when two people simultaneously raise one hand, about head high, and push, slide or slap the flat of their palm and hand against the palm and flat hand of their partner. The gesture is often preceded verbally by the phrase “Give me five” or “High five”.

Crappy weather in Deland today, clouds kicking around the tree tops and not much to do.
