Mark and I love to walk; on the beach, in the woods, the mountains, state parks. hiking trails, river beds, dirt roads, fields, pastures, and all kind of interesting places. But on occasion, we have to walk around the hotels, in town, on sidewalks.
I realize something. I can not step on a crack on a side walk. I will increase or decrease or even do a two-step to not step on a crack. If the sections are even, I take a large step over the crack, taking three steps and then just over the crack and can get four steps in without hitting the dreaded crack. I also find myself counting as I step....1,2,3,..1,2,3,4....1,2,3, repeat. A side walk with large section requires more steps and side-steps to make it work. I have done this for years and never thought much about it. I wonder if I am the only one. I know that I began this odd side walk walk when I was a small child and heard that terrible poem. "Step on a crack...Break your mothers back."...................I Love my mom
