I have days and days. On bad days I'd be walking very gingerly. I had no 
problem walking across the Golden Gate but that doesn't have the visual 
relief. 

There was a small airport on the north side of Ft. Wayne. One takeoff from 
one of the runways you climbed past an WOWO's AM antenna array. It was a 
strange feeling visualizing yourself on the antenna rather than the 
cockpit of the Tomahawk. Somebody has to change the light bulbs but it 
ain't me.

The CN Tower in Toronto is another one. I've been in tall buildings like 
the John Hancock in Chicago but something in that needle like structure 
caused my reptilian brain to say "NO!"
