Sweepstick.


I was walking back to work after lunch, minding my own business, doing what I normally do (if you're wondering, I look at the pavement for any cracks and holes I should avoid. Walking in thin heels can be such a pain!). Anyway, all of a sudden, a stick came sweeping across the sideway almost knocking me off my feet. What do I do? With my cat like agility, I leaped and spun around the man with the stick. Apparently or NOT so apparently, he was a blind man speed-walking with his direction stick. I was so graceful in my leap that he didn't even know I was there, and if you don't believe me, you can ask the guys who saw me in their car while I made that leap. "Good maneuver!" They said. Good maneuver indeed, I say!
