All is forgiven, Sparkie!  I've sinned as much as the next person - nothing
like coming out the door last and seeing only white below.  Don't remember all
the numbers and distances, either, but do know it's never a "cloud", just
"thick industrial haze".  Actually, I prefer falling alongside a cloud where
it's not so cold, wet and hazy and where you can really get a sense of the
speed of freefall.
