Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 09, 2024

What, no tennis balls…

I walk my dog in a pram. She has back and knee problems. (me-too) I walk and often meet my peers with walkers. I brag that my walker came with a dog.

Why wheels on front two only? Me never see one with wheels.

I ask them to please slow down. For some reason, they never do.

The older I get the less reason I see to hurry

Amish saying: The Hurrier I go the Behinder I get.

“Don’t be hasty, halfling!”

I like the ones with four wheels and dual brakes, with a fold down seat to sit and rest on. I have one waiting for me when I get to that stage in my life.

“ c’mon dad”? What is wrong with the kid? Does she want him to fall? You can’t rush old folks.

Reminds me of my grandfather — he didn’t use a walker but he compared the way he walked to Tim Conway when he was playing the part of an old man, shuffling his feet a little, as fast as he could.
