Just leave your vehicle outside during the afternoon deluge (monsoon). =)<br /><br />My husband was asking me what my greatest fear was last night, and admittedly, it took some thinking. I'm not afraid of much. I did learn recently that I'm afraid of an open ocean with no sign of land around. Is that crazy? When cruising, my hubby always wants to go out and look at the vast ocean in the middle of the night. As long as I'm not THINKING about what I'm seeing, I'm fine, but the moment I start, I drag him back inside.

And, yes, this despite living for years in big cities and using them constantly. The feeling doesn't go away, I just get better at suppressing it. Interestingly, I'm not afraid of caves, though I don't like the idea of being trapped in one!<br /><br />Love the car wash fear--I find them fascinating, but I also am often drawn to things I'm mildly afraid of. :D<br /><br />--Suzanne<br />www.suzannewarr.comSuzanne Warrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141459404743769260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-41757781058889904232014-04-07T12:46:09.965-04:002014-04-07T12:46:09.965-04:00I f*cking LOVE this blog post.
