I could never work on a skyscraper. I get a queasy feeling just thinking about being up that high with no walls.

I get queasy seeing that monstrous city below. Truly a place I never want to visit.

Well, I guess changing the decorative bulbs on the Chrysler Building is just out.   ;-)

I walked a 12 in wide flange 210 ft above ground years ago with no belts! The Steel Workers were impressedand I got their respect as the Project Engineer on the Job, but now I still have nightmares!! They told me way back then: “Don’t worry if You are above 40 ft! It won’t hurt!”
Going off a High dive is bad enough, think of those poor Souls who had to dive out of those burning Buildings 1000 ft above ground because of those Rabid Muslim Terrorists on 9-11-01!! Islam is NO a religion of Peace, it is a cult of Hate.

I get queasy being that high WITH walls. Ate at the “Top of the World” at the old WTC years ago, and was never so happy to get out of a restaurant in my life. I’m a terra firma kinda person.

Years ago at a convention in Chicago, there was some gala reception in the bar atop the Sears Tower.....it took me about three stiff drinks before I’d get more than a few steps from the elevator.
