Wallenda Walks the Wire...Didn't Need the Tether After All

    Turns out he didn't need the tether ABC Television made him wear so they wouldn't be broadcasting the ghoulish demise of a daredevil....
     Nothing bad happened however as Nik Wallenda made the trek on a wire strung over the Horseshow Falls to the delight of a six figure crowd and a tourism industry reveling in the attention.

     It was a great Friday night attraction. Everyone at Fort Pearl watched with interest and it will be standard front page above the fold photo fare for Saturday morning's slow news cycle.
     The tether took the consequences out of it but not the skill needed to walk the wire amidst the mist and roar of the Falls.
