There are also “ankle-foot orthoses” typically used by stroke victims, that only go up to the knee. I’m sure dear Karoline helps equip them.

Ankle-Foot Orthosis - a brace that supports the foot and ankle, extending from just below the knee down to the foot plate. An AFO is a device designed to control the position and movement at the ankle joint, improve alignment of the foot, and help patients stand or walk more safely and efficiently.

I’m guessing he starts his presentation by saying “Are you ready to Schrock?” Followed by “I can’t heeear you!”

I can’t imagine the X-men danger room they put these candidates through to prep them for Senate confirmation.

Thank you @ericidle.bsky.social I finished “Idle in Provence” and loved it! I was not prepared for the amount of feels (the words on Robin Williams had the tears flowing), but your bright side shines through. Say hi to @puddlespityparty.bsky.social a home town hero through many years!

Imagine my delight when my library Libby app notified me that the audiobook for “Idle in Provence: A Brief History of Thyme” was available. I put my current book on pause, checked it out, and now have @ericidle.bsky.social in my ear. I relocated near some thyme because it seemed appropriate.

I landscaped a secluded garden for my cat’s entertainment.

Finished my ump-teenth re-reading of "Neuromancer", in anticipation of the new show on Apple TV. As @greatdismal.bsky.social has pointed out, the future of audiobook technology is here, but it hasn't been evenly distributed to me (now where is cassette number two?)
