Thanks, Dave.  That was a very lucky break indeed--must have been lots of
energy involved in that big old beast rolling downhill.  I bet the operator
won't make that mistake again.

Hi dean,
         It's a Buffalo-Springfield road roller. The guy who was driving it
decided to go up hill and change gears while doing so. He missed the gear
that he was trying to get it into and rolled down hill backwards--and into a
gully. (The thing apparently has no brakes.)  No one was hurt luckily! 
They got the roller out of the gully on Sunday after the show. Some
scratches on the paint, but otherwise no damage. Could have been a LOT
worse!
