Touchdown! Greaser!
Since I've been partially laid off, I've cut back on flying, but the extra time I have is being spent on home repairs.
My problem - heights.
I had a summer job in college cleaning windows and it was all I could do to do anything other than wrap myself around whatever I could reach.
Now, almost 25 yrs later, I've been working a little on the house, 2nd story windows, and that phobia hasn't gotten any better.
I know the rational explanations against it - center of gravity and all the rest, but it just can't seem to sink in.
Funny thing, I have never had any fear of heights in any aircraft I've ever been in.
Is there a way to desensitize?
What I really want to do is get a one-story ranch house - with siding or brick - then I can handle everything from a step ladder.
