Not For All The Money In The World
....well, maybe for ALL the money in the world. I'm not sure. But the thing is, I'm afraid of heights. The older I get, the worse it gets. It must be something in the genes, because my grandma was afraid of heights, I now am, and my oldest son is. Very strange. Anyway, the deal is, there's a new bridge---a glass bridge, mind you---being built at the Grand Canyon. Probably y'all have heard about it. What I know is that you couldn't pay me enough money to set foot on it, I don't care how strong it is, how many packed Boeing airplanes could be on it, how strong a wind could blow it.....no thanks.

Makes me ill just to see that picture. I don't really need to know what it would look like if i fell into the grand canyon I guess.

YIKES!!! You wouldn't catch me dead on that...well maybe only dead because I wouldn't have any say in the matter.

The older I get, the more I don't care for heights - could have a little to do with the ladder fall I took in '02. :) ec

Some people will do ANYTHING for money.. ;) but actually I have walked on the sundial bridge up in Redding that is a really cool bridge..it is so think it is not like you can really see through it..I am thinking this one will be completely safe...they have to be sure before any turkey can waddle across it.. :) anyway..the wind would be something to consider...I don't love heights either...but the funny thing about that is I was all the way up on a hot air balloon ride once when the pilot says "you're not afraid of heights are you?" I swallowed my tongue and said "actually I am" I had not given it one thought as I jumped in the big basket...but it was cool...I just did no leaning over the edge or anything...lol...

I, too, have this thing about heights: when I’ve looked down from the Empire State Building or the Washing Monument or the edge of the Grand Canyon, I’ve had this urge to… jump. Crazy, huh?
