re: #101 wrenchwench

I tried. I went about a hundred yards, came back for Mr w’s hiking stick, named ‘Spike’ because of the point at the bottom, off of a mountain climbing ice ax (the handle is from a shovel). That got me about a block, but very slowly, so I called to say it would take me a while to get there, and the woman I spoke to said, ‘Take your time. Stay safe!’ Those last two words kept ringing in my ears, After another block, I called to say I wasn’t coming.

Sounds like a wise move. Even if you really worked hard and got there eventually, you would still have had to get home.
