66. A tourist favorite on the street is a neighborhood grandfather named Dave
Kernahan, who runs up and down the hill no less than thirty times a day.
He’s kept up this borderline-suicidal fitness program ever since he was laid
off from his job in 1997. The climb is so hard on his running shoes that he
sometimes goes through a pair in less than a month.

健身方式。穿著跑鞋攀爬是非常辛苦的,有時一雙鞋子穿不到一個月。
