December 26th: Walking With a Crutch

It was another mellow day. We went into Karlstad and had lunch with an old friend of Per's. I brought just one crutch. The city's cobblestones make for uneven walking, and I went pretty slow. I mostly used the crutch for balance and social signalling. It was really interesting to watch people react. It really measured people's spacial and social awareness. I didn't do well with shifting my course side to side, so I mostly hoped that people would stay out of the line I was walking in. Most people did that naturally. A handful of middle aged, well dressed men either almost bumped into me or had to shift out of the way at the very last second.

Also I found vegan Magnum ice cream at the ica.
