About "The Downs"

And now we will explain a bit about "The Downs" referred to in the last post.


Perhaps an illustration Will help.
Here we see a rather poor illustration of Our Fuzz.  And he is down.  In fact he just came down those stairs in a rather unpleasant manner.  

It was Tuesday, Day 2 of the Juice Fast.  The Fuzz and His Sweetie were over at the Old Place taking care of a few chores after the Beach Trip.
The Fuzz had just finished cutting the grass and was on his way out to the garden to pull some delicious beets for the Juice Fast.  It was raining (which seems to be a trend these days) and the steps were, of course wet.
When he reached point A, his feet shot out from under him sending his butt to point B.  Naturally, he tried to break his fall.  But when his hand hit the stairs, the impact wrenched his shoulder, causing it to collapse under his weight.  This in turn rolled him to the side, bashing his thick skull against the cement block wall at C.  Somewhat stunned, The Poor Fuzz continued down the stairs grating his knee across the cement (D) at the bottom.
The good news is that he is starting to regain some use of his arm.  The knee is still pretty rough with a large scab that makes it a bit painful to bend it.  But, because of his thick skull, the head injury was insignificant.
Just one of those little "Downs" of everyday life.

O snap, on one of the rental property's I had to paint the porch, to help to prevent slip and falls after I painted I sprinkled and fulls of sand on to the paint before it dried.

We did something like that years ago at the lake. It does work pretty good.

I feel camping and hit my head on the concrete sidewalk. Guess it's great we have thick skulls. :-)
