In 1998, while living on Cape Cod, I was sidelined, briefly, by appendicitis. During my convalescence, I built this radio-controlled sailplane from a balsa wood kit. I attempted to fly it once or twice and then packed it away until yesterday when I took it out to Belmont Plateau where I crashed it repeatedly and possibly beyond repair:

On my way back from the citizen trash drop-off in Southwest Philly, I happened upon this scene. According to bystanders, the previous night, the driver of the SUV had mistaken the Crescent Iron Works building for a train station and the space between the building and the bridge over the train tracks for the entry to the train station. Imagining she was simply pulling into a parking lot, she drove right through the fence and down the embankment. She was uninjured but clearly embarrassed by the scene. I wasn’t able to capture the successful last pull as the city truck hauled the SUV over the top of the embankment. See a couple of photos here.
