I'm now at an age where broken hips and dislocated shoulders are far too common. I fell yesterday while helping my daughter in her yard and fortunately was not injured.

This reminds me of my days working field service in heavy industry. We were required to have frequent safety classes as refreshers and it took me years to finally appreciate how important that was for reducing the effects of one of our worst enemies - human complacency.

You'll be in my thoughts for a speedy recovery and thanks again for the kind reminder to slow down and watch my every step.
