What goes up must come down

A proverb Hank recalls when thinking about dams, concluding that someday there will be no dam at Glen Canyon.

Early context: Reminded that what goes up must come down, Hank says someday there will be no dam at Glen Canyon, and we can only hope it is removed on purpose. — I Disagree with Me (Thoughts from Lake Powell) 00:04:01
