Sometimes I just have share things that have nothing to do with this blog's usual content of bikes and trees and the odd rant. Get a load of this. If you are not good with heights, don't watch. I mean it.
I am not afraid of heights, but after falling four stories my body has a mind of its own, and so I have a strong reaction to heights now. And still I watched it.
It make me feel a little sick, but then, you did warn me.
I had to stop at about 1/3rd of the way through. That is fricken insane! No way I would ever even think of doing that job. If it was either that job or living in a cardboard box, I'd be happy living in the cardboard box.
I watched, but I knew before I watched...there is no way in hell you would catch me more than a few feet off the ground climbing a tower. My brother in-law used to change lights on the radio towers around here...not close to that height. He always said it is not the falling that kills you, it's the stopping that gets you.

I think I'd have to pack a parachute. Was all that just to change a lite bulb?
What a crazy-assed job he has.

John - Don't know.
Babble - Falling four stories? Wah?
I get a weird feeling in the soles of my feet when I watch it.

I second the parachute idea. Climbing up looks like enough of a pain in the butt, let alone climbing down.
