Facing Fears

Jill's Journal: I have three “irrational” fears in life and apparently I’m going to have to face two of them today. One is a strange disdain of long, high bridges. I like looking at them, but driving over them gives me the willies. I’m told the bridge we have to go over today is approximately 20 miles long. It will be a special kind of torture.

Another of my irrational fears is of tunnels. Actually, it’s more of a claustrophobia thing. Apparently one exits this particular bridge only to be thrust into more than a mile-long tunnel on the ocean floor. We’ll see if I’m still breathing at that point.

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel has been designated one of seven engineering wonders of the modern world. All it needs is snakes (irrational fear #3) and my horror will be complete.
