Tuesday: Who's In?

What’s the fashion accessory of this Chapter? What guarantees you a seat on a Trasna Transport Trolley? Surely by now you have some idea.... No? Well, you just need to look around you at the number and variety of canes. There are black ones, brown ones, multi-colored ones; rigid canes, canes that fold up (and explode into opening without even lifting a finger to push a button!), canes made of wood, of steel, of aluminum, canes with well-curved grips and canes with knobs on. Having a cane is the big status symbol right now!

Then there are the wheelchairs - such beautifully crafted machines, seats that are padded (or not!), arm rests, foot rests, and even leg rests for those who can’t stay on a bicycle!

Finally, there have been sightings of walkers, tripods (no zimmers that I can see) [ed. note for Yankees: a zimmer is an English style walker]. Some people will do anything to be noticed around this place!

Where else but here at Chapter would you get such attention to comfort and such respect for injured members! Indeed, going on, moving forward, we are crossing over - and we’re making that crossing in a grand variety of ways.
