There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.
The going up is not so bad but the coming down is enough to give anyone vertigo. That is why, on the Manitou Incline, you can only go up and then must come down the Barr Trail.
Lord Jesus, I get Vertigo just looking at those Pixs, couldn't do it, wouldn't even be Tempted to go there. I can think of much better ways to end it all.
Good grief. All it would take is for someone halfway up to trip and roll down the steps to take out a whole group. Would not climb those at gunpoint. Do they have nets below to catch the ooopsies?
No no no no no no no
ReplyDeleteAnon - Just 7 no's? I think you should have a no for each step.
ReplyDeleteI found myself panting right along with them.
ReplyDeleteKirk - I don't think I could climb that many stairs all at once. I'd have to camp out 3 or 4 times.
ReplyDeleteAnd a multitude of emphatic no's from me.
ReplyDeleteSue - I'll get you a parachute just in case.
ReplyDeleteAgnes and I visited a Mayan pyramid in Mexico that had a section approved as "safe" for out-of-shape tourists to climb. That was steep enough.
ReplyDeleteThere's no way on earth you'd get me on those stairs.
ReplyDeleteScary stairs. I'd take steps to avoid them
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not for me! I can think of so many other things to enjoy.

ReplyDeleteNope nope nope nope nope.

ReplyDeleteAt this point in my life, because of a trick knee, all stairs are the "stairs of death" for me!

ReplyDeleteObviously there are people who make this climb. Obviously they're not the readers of your blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm clumsy on flat dry land - this is not happening in my life, at least not on purpose like these dumbasses. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am going to take a pass on this. Do they have stairs of life? I think I would much prefer that route.
ReplyDeleteBill - Was there an escalator?
ReplyDeleteRiver - What if was your only escape route?
Stu - Steps going down? (I know, a pun.)
Martha - I never said this was going to be enjoyable. 😁
Lady - For the people like me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitou_Incline
Deb - Five nopes? So you're not really sure?
Dawn - I found out by reading some more it's only 600 feet up. Nothin' to it!
Shaw - Nothing like having your knee pop out when you're going down stairs. It's exciting, right?
C - There's one net all the way at the bottom. It has a hole in it from the last person that fell.
Kathy - Except for one reader, right?
Peg - I'll drop you off at the top and you can walk down. Easy peasy.
Matt - Tomorrow. You can pick one.
