Do you know where these people are?
No? They’re 1,353 feet above ground in a GLASS BOX HANGING OFF THE SIDE OF THE SEARS TOWER.

I know! Mr. Spy was having conniption fits about this today. I’m not so afraid of heights, but even I am not sure if I’d set foot on that retro-engineered ledge. AJ, however, wants to go there immediately.

Nopenope nope. Not a chance. I’m not even really afraid of heights, but that thing is hanging out over nowhere. Nope.

I seriously almost have a panic attack just looking at that, and I don’t consider myself to have a problem with heights under normal circumstances. I’ll second, third, fourth the NO NO NO NO (NO!).

I have never been afraid of heights beyond that which is self-preserving but yikes! No thanks. I don’t even like being in the glass elevators in hotels. Mainly because I can’t scratch my ass without 200 people noticing.

I hears ya, ladies. I am afraid of heights and like you, Allie, just looking at the pictures makes me feel sick.
You can feel the wind buffeting that building when you’re INSIDE it. Can you imagine the sway on those boxes? And the morbid part of me (which is most of me) wonders how long it will be until the first one fails, sending tourists plummeting to their deaths.

Yeah, this isn’t so tempting to me. My hands are shaking just looking at it.

I saw this somewhere else, too, with two children sitting out there, coloring or something. My immediate thought was, No. Absolutely not.
