((((((Bob)))))),

Number 1 -- You are NOT stupid. The town is stupid for continuing to use those bricks in the crosswalks. There are new technologies (StreetPrint or DuraTherm) that are safer and cheaper to maintain and look better.

Number 2 --

Number 3 -- Didn't your optometrist teach you about tipping your head down so you can see your feet clearly??

Number 4 -- You've got neuropathy and you're carrying 4 bags of groceries Didn't know they were holding the Superman tryouts this week. Get a shopping cart or shop more frequently -- easier on your poor body

Number 5 -- I'd be making a trip to the mayor or the selectmen's office with information about a different, safer type of "sidewalk brick". Maybe *THIS* was The Universe's plan in the first place

I hope you feel better tomorrow. BIG HUGS.
