I was in the Gallia County Farmhouse and was preparing to go to work. It was around eight o'clock in the morning and I had to be at work at nine.

The television was on in the room and I saw a commercial come on about a small, toy, army tank which was being produced for children. It had never been produced before and was called the "Andy." It was shown moving around through the grass and weeds. It surprised me that the commercial lasted for about 15 minutes.

The regular news program came on. On the screen was a scene of some people standing on top of the Eiffel Tower. As I watched, I seemed to be standing with them. A simple railing was around the edge. I looked down on the world below. Someone could slip and fall over the railing.

A man, a woman and a little boy were on top of the tower. The man and woman were about my age. As I watched, the little boy jumped off the Tower. As the camera followed his fall, a parachute he was wearing opened when he was about half way to the ground. Apparently he was taking part in a new sport in which people jumped from the Eiffel Tower wearing parachutes.

The cameras focused back on the man and woman. The man was a good looking muscular fellow. He called the woman "Frau" and her name. Then he pushed her off. She began floating down and he jumped off after her. He overtook her and they held each other as they floated earthward. Finally their parachutes opened.

When the woman's parachute opened, some of her clothes seemed to disappear, so she was left wearing what appeared to be a bathing suit. The man's clothes also disappeared except for a pair of shorts.

I wondered what the authorities thought about people jumping off the Eiffel Tower like that.

They landed safely on their feet; people gathered around to interview and talk with them.

I looked at the clock; it was twenty minutes till nine and I still wasn't ready. I still didn't have my shoes and belt on. I ran upstairs and asked my mother where my shoes and belt were. She pointed to the banister and said my belt was right there. I grabbed it. I was in a hurry to get to work.
