LOL, thanks a lot. The last time I drove home to Mississippi from Virginia by myself, I drove it all in one day. By the time I had to cross the series of bridges in Mobile, I was already worn out. When I got to the Pascagoula bridge, I was hyperventilating and finally had to call my husband to come get me, I just couldn’t make myself drive across.

Apparently it’s not a true phsycological phobia, it’s something to do with an inner ear thing that can happen to people in middle age. I’ve read about a man who pilots jets, but has to be driven across the Mackinaw bridge. I didn’t feel so foolish when I read that. But looking at pictures of that bridge, I couldn’t have crossed it in my youth before this came upon me! That is one scary-looking bridge, and it’s not even the worst I’ve seen, it just always comes to mind.

Ha. I had an overnight job in High School guarding Fiber Optic cables being laid under the I10 Pascagoula bridge.

One side for an hour, then drive across to the other side for an hour. That bridge is hard enough sober. Don’t get me started!
