I went up on a house roof today, and I apparently walked on the steep-angled parts wrong. Both my ankles have mild but noticeable swelling, & one started hurting about 2 hours after I came back down. I've been walking with a limp the whole afternoon and evening. :blobbandage:

And floppy diskette drives
Old consoles and joysticks and DOS game archives
Vintage keyboards with them buckling springs
These are a few of my favorite things
