From Great Heights

I wanted to go up on my roof to check out the roofer's work and to see if leaves were catching in the gutters. 

 But I'm afraid of heights and my 6-foot ladder isn't tall enough, so Jim brought over his extension ladder and went up first, so I was a little less scared then. 

 The view from up there is great, but I don't plan to go up more than once a year to scout for leaves.

Because it's scary.
