Not too surprising, considering what happened north earlier in the week, but no news about it yet, so I applaud your bravery.

I'm a hero, glad you notice :)

It was a double roller, and the jerk movement made the heavy mirror break the wire it was hung with.

As you know, unless it's a whopper, it feels very different in various spots. Because of the length and the 2 separate movements, it was quite exciting for my neighborhood.
