Here Is Another Thing That Gives Me A Queasy Feeling,

the £160million bridge at the Hoover Dam, it is 900ft above the Colorado River and will carry a new section of US Route 93 past the bottleneck of the old road, providing a new link between the states of Nevada and Arizona, it should be finished next year, the bridge has become known as the Hoover Dam bypass, although it is officially called the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, after a former governor of Nevada and an American Football player from Arizona who joined the US Army and was killed in Afghanistan, but why do heights make me so unsettled? it is a mystery to me.
