One of my biggest fears is a fear of heights and I tackled that today. We have window washers taking care of the Crowne Plaza windows which means the door out to the balcony has been unlocked.

Ever since I started working on the 23rd floor of Crowne Plaza in downtown Billings, I have wanted to know what the view straight down looked like. The problem is they lock the door that goes out onto our balcony area. I suppose they fear us being radio people that we might jump...

Window Washers Are More Brave Than I Will Ever Be
It's that time of year again, when our building (The Crowne Plaza) has the windows cleaned, from top to bottom!
