    Picture taken from one of the towers on the Mackinaw Bridge. It's a long ways to the road surface and a longer ways to the water.

    They need painters. Are you interested?

    That job was featured on Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs. Good episode.

    I am not afraid of heights, I am just afraid of falling!
