a good deal of damage to my left knee, I can no longer straighten it at all. Consequently, my left leg is, when “Fully extended”, a bit shorter than my right. On long walks, this means I tend to veer to the left. And I have always wondered how much.

So last tuesday, I had a fairly large (Because of the cool temperatures) beach to myself. Looking straight ahead, with no landmarks on the horizon, I walked down the beach to the water

And I ended up about seven feet to the left of where I started. So left to my own devices, without a landmark to guide me, I will walk in a circle a little over a mile in diameter.

yeah, I have little business going on vacation, I’m no good on my own.
