IMHO-Idaho: Things That Go Ouch In The Night

Full post here

Remember the roller skate left in the middle of the driveway? Remember your Dad waddling out of the garage carrying a stuffed-full 55-gallon trash can of leaves and planting his Red Wing work boot squarely in the middle of that roller skate? Remember the week he spent in traction? Well, those were the good old days. Mattel now makes 180 different Hot Wheels, and they all roll admirably over wood, tile or linoleum floors as well as concrete. The issue arises because my wife and I have a nephew who visits our home and is enamored of die-cast toy cars. You’d be surprised how effectively one can booby-trap a 1,600-square-foot house with sharp metal objects that roll out from under your foot at any misstep. Especially at night with all of the lights turned out, and even on carpet. Remarkable how big a divot a 1 1/2-inches-long Hot Wheel can take out of your instep while you’re letting the dog outside/ Steve Crump , Twin Falls Times News.
