Sandybells-

I am legal counsel for the general contractor on this. While it looks scary as hell it is highly over engineered. It can resist sustained winds of over 100 mph and bear the weight of 10, yes 10, 747's...I have been out on the site several times with the risk manager of the company and you would not believe the amount of steel and concrete that went into the footings to hold the superstructure...

I'd have to lay down, I know I'd be sick

Then again my hubby and kids like to make my stomach drop by jumping in the elevator!

I dunnoo... I'm thinking I'd still feel better with some support underneath. We see freak accidents all the time.. bridges etc giving way.. I've seen the herds of tourist at the Grand Canyon. Not sure I'd get on it with all of them.

I wouldn't pay $25 to walk 15 yards out above the canyon. I'm sure people will, but that seems like an outrageous amount of money to me. $100 for a family of 4. Uh uh.

I feel sorry for whoever has to remove all the finger and nose prints every night. LOL

Yikes! No way would I walk out there on my own accord. Heck they couldn't pay me enough and they'd have a big mess to clean up behind me.

Gosh tired old man you are right but I have to admit I loved it as a way to experience the canyon in a way one couldn't normally.

No way, no how! Ain't gonna see me out there. And Nana, I understand, my kids are always jumping on the elevator to scare me. The canyon is so beautiful, and I've always wanted to hike it, maybe I'll make that a long term goal/reward!!!!! And you know, it's not even a fear of heights for me, it's a fear of falling, and looking at this walkway, all I can invision is just that, falling. Some of us are tough girls, but I'll tell you right now, I'm just a taffy ass. cassie

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
