What I Believe
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear. But worry is rust upon the blade. It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction."

Henry Ward Beecher

I can see for miles and miles. . .

Not content with having the tallest building in America, the owners of Sears Tower in Chicago have installed four glass box viewing platforms which stick out of the building 103 floors up.

The balconies are suspended 1,353 feet in the air and jut out four feet from the building's Skydeck.

Check out the photos at the link.  It's really remarkable.  The photos are particularly spectacular. 

I'll be traveling downtown in a few weeks, but you can rest assured, you won't find me out on that crystal ledge. . .

What about you?  Would YOU step out onto that platform?

I would not, could not, in a box! (Shudder.) But I rarely look out the window when flying. And in fact, I'd have trouble taking an elevator up that high.

Happy 4th of July!

I would have to get there - I have done a few things that might seem challenging by just (when I got there) getting up and doing it. But that's an awfully long way down..... And I did not see any barf bags in that little box.....
