Surveyor

-- 1. Are you afraid of heights? It depends on the height. If I climb a tall tree and look down, it doesn't bother me. The height of some of the beggest ferris wheels doesn't remotely bother me. If I am on a mountain, thousands of feet up, I'll stand by the edge of a sheer drop off and look down and enjoy the awe of the view and experience, but I most certainly know fear in my heart as I do.
