I know it's way off the Poncho topics, but I had to share some pics I took from the 103rd floor of the (formerly Sears tower), in Chicago.  It's renamed Willis Tower.  First is looking straight down thru glass floor. 103 Down.jpg


The Trump tower (center), supposedly 6" shorter than the Trade Center towers
with John Han**** building on left, (2 antennas)

You guys will laugh but I can't even look at that first picture....

I am scared of heights. Crazy thing is, plane rides are ok, but that top picture actually makes my legs wobbly.

Last time we spent a day driving in the mountains, the family loved it (except me)

The next day they all wanted to go back for another day like that and I just couldn't do it. I wish it wasn't that way but it's a sad reality for me.
