That wrecking ball weighs 1,500 pounds. You've got to have guts to even TRY and stop it.

This was all the conversation this afternoon when I got my car inspected in Meadville. Reminds me of the time in the 90s when the Presby organist at the time Rebecca Borthwick Aiken hit a bear with her car in downtown Meadville.
Yesterday I drove down Main. You can see the places it hit the curbs. There is a barbershop at the foot of the hill. Apparently the barber watched the ball careening down the hill wondering if it would hit him, not knowing what to do.
