Notes: At work today, some workers were replacing ceiling titles following the completion of some lighting and HVAC upgrades. One of them was wearing a pair of industrial stilts, which fascinated a coworker of mine so much she even asked if she could try them on. (He pretended not to hear her.) Like me, she remembers stilt walking as a child. It may be thirty years since I've been up on a pair, but I think I could still stagger about for a ways (if only monshu would agree to let me try, which of course he never would).
