I saw the Earth rolling beside the road ....really I did

So I'm driving from Bangor,Me back to Vt. this afternoon (Rt2), and i round a bend
and up ahead at the crest of the next hill i see something big and round. As i get
nearer i see that it's on my side of the road. So i sez to myself WTF is that
The car in front of me puts on the brakes so i ease out of it but the car decides to stop in the middle of the hill GRRRRRR. I drop about 7 gears and go around him
and the big round globe thats being rolled down the shoulder of the road by a
guy a dog and another guy. Wait a minute....did i really just see that?

Forgot all about it when i got home, till just now, so i Googled "globe rolling"
and came up with this

I want to raise diabetes awareness.

So,

I'm going to roll an 8-foot globe around the country.



I say good for him, though, I suppose! Whatever floats your . . . . . globe.

Actually Bradford,Vt's claim to fame is it's the home of the first globe.
Don't think he rolled it down main street though.
