[Summit] I fell today

[e2shatter2 at cox.net]

I fell two weeks ago on a patch of ice on Rochambeau. I have taken to wearing rubber slip-ons with
small spikes on the bottom which I slip over my shoes. It helps and i haven't fallen but we shouldn't
have to put up with unsafe streets.

The driveway was all icy.  I was watching and going slowly but - BOOM.  I slid rght down on my back, hitting my head.  A nice man was walking nearby - on the street -  saw me go down, and came over and helped me up.
