Rusty said...: Are galumphing? It looks like you're galumphing up those stairs.; 9/30/25, 9:13 AM
Wince said...: Is there a comfortable pouch for a phone that would allow both of your arms to swing freely? Your arm seems clinched, restricting the symmetry of your movement and leaving you more vulnerable to falls.; 9/30/25, 9:20 AM

Some see a look and say, “hmm… side-eye.” But I see the same look and say, “ mmm… come hither!”; 9/30/25, 11:48 AM
Ann Althouse said...: I'm climbing a stone stairway with very wide steps. It's not like an indoor staircase. You have to either lunge to go up one step at a time (as opposed to stepping up and then across before stepping up again).; 9/30/25, 11:53 AM
Rusty said...: IOW The type of stairs that make it a chore to time your steps.; 9/30/25, 11:59 AM
