I admit it, great heights give me a queasy feeling

So do pictures taken from great heights.

It's funny how sometimes the difficulty only comes when you're on the ground.

I've got a friend ex Air Force who spent his time hanging out of helicopters. But he can't go near the handrail at a lookout. I'm the same, I love the window seat when flying, but queasy on a building.

Mr. H and I went up to the top of the Stratosphere in Vegas one year. He rode the roller coaster on the outside of the building, 800 feet above the ground. I didn't. I could barely approach the windows.

I have been known to sit down facing the door in glass elevators. I can only go near windows in tall buildings if I look straight ahead at the horizon. I cannot walk across bridges, nor can i climb great heights. Glass bottom helicopters scare the daylights out of me, as do gondolas up the mountain. But get in a tube to fly 3000 miles across the Atlantic - no problem.

A friend of mine once let me ride the wrecking ball on a crane; took me up seven or eight stories, and then left to go get a coke. This certainly did nothing to reduce my fear of heights.

Let's just make sure that multi-megawatt antenna isn't transmitting, ok?
