Tightrope

Nik Wallenda is presently about half way through his wire walk on the
Discovery Channel.  I can't turn it off, but I can't stay in the room either.  There is a 10 second delay if he falls.  He's wearing elkskin shoes, I  read, but also blue jeans---they seem so binding somehow.  I'll be glad when it's over.
         Postscript:     Nik made it across, but it looks as if Don Draper has fallen into the gorge.
