I look at window washers and
I look at window washers and think they must have very strong minds. There is the physical threat of course but to be out there everyday so high up , I could not do it.
Sense of humor, too
They will play with cats and wave to office inmates. They always seem so pleasant.
So good to see that they have redundant systems (harnesses) to save them.
I have never worked high
I have never worked high enough to know this but I am happy to know that many have that sense of goodwill!!!
