    I think I held my breath the ENTIRE 7 minutes of the video! WOW, NOT a job for me!


    As a young child, I was curious about those flashing lights we would see as we drove across the country side. So one day I asked my Dad about them.

    Me: Dad, what is that flashing light for?
    Dad: That is so airplanes don't fly into that pole.

    Pause.

    Me: Dad, what is the pole for?
    Dad: To hold the light up there!

    I believed this for YEARS, until I was about 9 years old, ha ha haaaa. The power of Daddies!

    I got a fatal error message when I clicked on the link. Uh oh.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    That was not good for my inbalance issues but I HAD to watch it! I wanted to see how they changed that light bulb... oh well! We had a deckhand that use to do that but he decided to find another job the day a co worker fell and was killed. He had some awesome pictures though..

    What a climb that was. That looks worse then those rides in Las Vagas.

    There is an oil refinery in Pine Bend Minnesota & we were traveling up that way one evening & one of our boys was talking about who changed all the light bulbs? The place was lite up like a Christmas display.

    Well,

    It would be simpler to have god hold the bulb and spin the earth beneath it?

    Jimminy Christmas...my vertigo is making me quite nauseaus. If that is the Sutro Tower in SF, it's on top of a very high mountain to boot. Often it is covered in fog even when SF isnt'. I never considered that a person had to climb up there to change the bulbs. I cannot believe that there is no safety latch. I can't get on a 3 rung step ladder without two people "spotting' me. I get dizzy. Bless these guys.

    We'll let you be the judge of that when your hubby and I spike your drinks, and the next morning you'll wake up strapped in a seat, ready for us to press the "GO" button.
    So.....do you think you'll need Depends ?????
