Stumbled upon this in the New York Times today. Fear of Crossing Bridges has its own word: Gephyrophobia. Fascinating read there on Gephyrophobia. The fear is real, so it seems like there is potential for a nice retirement hobby to assist those with the phobia. Drive them across the bridge. I think that would be a cool way to spend a few afternoons a week. Just have to find the right bridge.

Apparently the Chesapeake Bay Bridge has a very high rate of folks asking for assistance, while the Tappen Zee Bridge in New York only gets about 6 requests a year.

So which bridge should I retire near....
