I'm fine. Thanks for asking. I can't believe I'm fine. I was getting out of my car with my two dogs in a torrential downpour. We live in a completely dark area with no streetlights. My small black dog got loose and took off. I reached back and fell ass backwards. I thought: " OK, this is it. The beginning of the end. Broken hip, head injury. Classic senior finale." But no. Slight back pain, two dogs staring at me wondering why I'm on the ground, and a smashed pixel.

Now you know the trick to getting your dogs to come back.

Glad you survived the ordeal.

Thanks. Winter is coming, so I have to practice my falls more.

Oof. Having both fallen plenty of times (I know knee replacement surgery's in my eventual future), and also experienced the "joy" of chasing a small dog down a street, I'm glad things are okay on both fronts (if not for your Pixel).

super underwhelming! Could have at least been for something cool... like rescuing the dogs from something, climbing a ladder or a mountain, doing acro yoga in the park etc.
