  6. Good one. I was trying to write one last week about a young disabled girl I saw walking in the snow, somehow her footsteps then were as stable as everyone elses, where usually she would be the most wobbly. Couldn't get it to come out quite right though - perhaps I'll persevere. Thanks for the unintended encourangement.
