Day 1, Mountains

My ex-husband (wuzband) said that when he saw downtown L.A. from the 10, his gonads tried to migrate upwards back to where they were prior to his puberty. This is how I feel when I look down from heights, including, but not limited to, mountains, world's highest buildings, stepladders. I read somewhere, years ago, that we are born with two fears: loud noises, and falling. In general, a person falls from a height. Unless you are a klutz, in which case you can fall from a kneeling position.

Despite this fear, when I left Santa Cruz I decided that I would drive through Yosemite on my way to visit my father in Grand Junction, Colorado. I understood that there would be heights involved and did it anyway.
