How did you manage to ride in the front seat of a police car?
ReplyDeleteIn HS they had a program for students to ride with officers. Later, one of my dear friends was a reserve police officer and I rode with him. One trip going above speed chasing someone ended my thoughts of being a cop. I don't like speed...
DeleteIf you're afraid of heights, you definitely shouldn't go in a helicopter. You can see everything around you, and all the way down. The one time I was in a helicopter was with my family, and my mother (horribly afraid of heights) had her eyes shut the entire time and wouldn't let us talk about what we were seeeing.
ReplyDeleteI could barely look out the slit of windows in the St. Louis Arch last year. I sat near the elevator until my husband was done looking. Of course, the Arch also sways...
