I drive like an old lady with head on a swivel in Santa Cruz with all of the various street activities, wandering homeless, kids running into the street from driveways, skate borders, wobbling tourists on bicycles, and now the e-bikes etc.

I hate driving. With a passion and I'm usually in rural areas. I'm usually at a 5 anxiety wise, put me in a big suburb or city and it's a 10. Rural areas it's usually gay bikers (manual) it gay pants and shirts.

Cities and burbs it's just fucking idiots everywhere. I learned my lesson one time and almost got myself killed by a guy (gang banger). So I just white knuckle it and am generally angry while driving.

Going back to heights, anyone sky dive? I have zero interest. Is the thrill worth it? Thought about it but I have massive trust issues.

Zion has angels landing hike. I made it to top but almost shitted in pants coming down. Steep vally both side. 2 to 5 feet to walk in many places.
Like will clear up if you have fear.

-Do hypnotherapy,
-start with low heights then go higher.
- tell him we all die sometime, you can't live with fear.

Another dentist who came to look to buy a big screen TV from me said he couldn't practice because he got into an altercation with a K Mart bouncer and the bouncer wrenched his arm so badly he had permanent nerve and muscle damage. He yelled at the counter person when returning a $15 telephone.

well that was worth it..He showed the guy who was boss. I take it that you live in santa cruz...I used to live in Fremont and had a GF that lived in los gatos. One time we spent the night in that big hotel on the beach in SC...Another time she took me to a kind of famous bar for younger people in capitola..not a fancy place... more like a place for rockers..Do you know it?

I like to say that I don't have a fear of heights, I have a fear of falling from heights.

Do you know it?

There are a couple of places, but I never hung out at them. There's lots of night life and live music, but we don't go there unless somebody visits and wants to go out. It looks like quite a few cougars hang out at the Crow's Nest at the Harbor. The one night stand yutes nurse their hangovers and sniff their fingers at the Harbor Cafe on 7th. Street, but we are generally shut ins at night. Dull and predictable. I like the beach at daylight. After hours, it's lovely to watch the moon over the water, but that's' at risk because the meth heads start stalking.

I have 6 free fall jumps. Fall 1,000 feet, pull ripcord and float 3,000ft to the ground. It scared the hell out of me every time, but Pierre made me do it. Pierre Pressure.

I don't think I could do it. That's one height thing where I'm a solid no unless in an emergency. I don't like fast speeds vertically or horizontal with my body. One mistake and you're for sure dead.
