It's all too much

There are just way to many things to be disenfranchised about these days. It's all so overwhelming, this person did that, and someone else did this stupid thing, my head is about to explode.



OK, OK so John Voight has gone completely 'round-da-bend on this one, and the comments from the "Young Turks" folks is just funny.

How about this: Twenty-three employees of France Telecom have killed themselves since the beginning of 2008.

The world is coming unglued!

Did I mention that I am afraid of heights?

I think I said this before, but when I was in my 20s it wasn't an issue, heights that is. But now, I get this strange feeling in my gut and my knees get a bit wobbly and I get a little dizzy. It's very strange, must be something to do with age?

Anyway, I not afraid of heights in tall buildings looking out windows, airplanes or bridges with railings or being in places that are high up. I'm only afraid of places where I could make a simple mistake and fall to my death.

Such a place exists, and it can be found in Zion National Park. That place is called the Angels Landing trail.


A hiking trail, seriously dude, your afraid of a hiking trail?

Oh no, not just any hiking trail, this is the grand-daddy of all hiking trails (at least for Zion it is). Kinda like taking a double black-diamond ski run.

This is a simple 2.5 mile hike, well the first 2 miles are fine, steep but fine, it's that last 1/2 mile that things get a little on the "don't mess up, or you will fall 1,700 feet straight down to your death" freaky side.
