Walking is good for me so I go. I must admit that I should remember to put on my yaks (clip-on ice cleats) but I am obstinate, stubborn, and just plain lazy most days. I went down last evening but am just fine. I didn't see the patch of ice on the sidewalk so I fell. Thank goodness landed on my most cushioned portion so no harm done except to my pride.
Bendy was kind enough to demonstrate my stupidity and gracelessness.
For the season, I am 2 falls, 1 slip - no harm done- maybe next time I'll just bring the silly yak-tracks with me.
@amyk I am, just being careless. The sidewalks are a hit and miss thing here, some are really clear and others not so much. I have put my yaks in my jacket pocket now :):)
@eudora Falling when only my dog is around, is better. She is too small to really be of much help but the lick on my face made me feel better.
@themusketeers This year has been bad for ice, the daytime melting but the temps at night just re-freeze it all. I am usually much better at avoiding the ice just didn't see it in time.
@francoise He doesn't does he, never really thought about it. My softer spots make up for his lack :):)
@mzzhope I usually am. I was feeling frustrated late evening before dinner and thought that a walk would help. I should have known not to but when I mention the "W" word to my dog, all bets are off and she needs to go.
@judithtb Just a bruised ego but that heals fairly quickly. :):)
@ziggy77 They're in my jacket pocket now. I need boots that have them that I can flip a button or lever and the spikes pop out as needed. I can dream...
@angelikavr It does but I should have known to not walk and not being paying attention where I was walking. Hind sight is always so clear...
@jernst1779 Yes, I should. I am being cranky about this... Being a grown up is sometimes just no fun at all.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond He is a most flexible one. I am just glad that his facial expressions are not so noticeable....
I swear by them. Have taken a lot of spills over the years and much prefer the traction!
