I only drove across the Golden Gate Bridge several times. I’d be too afraid to walk it.

Cellophane Tape Day: certainly a very useful invention.

I've always wanted to walk/jog across the Golden Gate Bridge, but I've never had the time or chance to do so. I've driven across it several times before though, so that will have to do for now.

I just bought cellophane tape this morning. It's a very useful product.
