Ever since I gave up being worried about *monsters* under my bed about the age of 10, I haven't had many fears. There's a lot of things I wouldn't like, but none that seem to fall into that category. The only thing I can think of that I have ever dwelled on and sort of dreaded is being injured...like in an auto accident...in very cold weather. Somehow I fret about the cold more than the injury.

I'm careful of spiders & snakes that I don't know, but I'm the guy they call to toss 'em out. I can climb things and stand on high edges and crawl into tight places and swim and ride in airplanes and go on ALL the crazy rides at the amusement park.

I guess I just have learned that reasonable caution and understanding work pretty well. (Of course, I have never fallen off anything high, or been bitten by a spider or been trapped in a cave...etc...)
