When I was in college at Western State College of Colorado in Gunnison there was one winter when the administration building was surrounded by yellow caution tape and some doors were closed to use. The reason behind this was that the College President had picked up his new car (driven directly from the dealership to work), parked it in his usual spot (head on into his spot against the east wall of the building on the south end), only to find an icicle had fallen from the eave 4 stories above the ground through his engine block. Don't remember when this was exactly but sometime between the fall of 1973 and the spring of 1976. If you were in the wrong place at the wrong time anything is possible. Graf
