STDM - Straight Down The Middle
****NOTE**** The container is OUTSIDE of the business; it is not necessary to go inside to find the geocache.
Straight Down The Middle is a term one would love to have describe a field goal, a baseball pitch, or a bowling ball throw. But in pinball? Not so much.
The Pinball Dictionary describes "Straight Down The Middle" as "To lose a ball via the center drain because the ball was travelling so fast and/or in such a perfect line, that there is no way the player could have saved it, not even with a miracle slap save."
So here's a brief but very interesting history of pinball. Did you know that this fun, innocent game was once illegal in the United States? Click here to read more! https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/g284/4328211-new/
Pinball is one of my other addictions, (besides geocaching, of course!). So I would be remiss not to place a geocache far from home, but near a place I frequent quite regularly. This geocache is placed with permission of the business owner, who will graciously help you find your lost pinball or your elusive geocache.... in that order, of course!
