Went to get the mail at dusk and tripped over the top one and fell about 3 feet to the concrete below, raspberries on my right knee and some scrapes on my hand, am still wondering if I would have done that 30 years ago… thank GOD I didn’t hit my head or what little sense I have left, would certainly be gone.
