Wisc onsin Dells
When you’re on ‘The Spot” on this ledge in Wisconsin,
you begin to wonder whether your head is on straight.
Walk into the house and you find yourself inexplicably tilting
20 degrees to the east. If you drop something it hits the floor
a yard from where you’d expect. If you roll a ball “down”
