Thing #2: Done!

I was about to exit the local mall this afternoon when I passed by an escalator! A couple was just about to complete their journey of about 30 steps and no one else was in sight, hence no one else would interfere with my attempt (not to mention that I would not be humiliated if I was to fail). This was my moment of glory!

Full of confidence (this happens when you don't really think what you are about to do) I run down the escalator. It was rather confusing when I took the first two-three steps, but once I got the coordination right it was a piece of cake. It was actually much easier than walking down an escalator that was out of order a couple of weeks ago, which made me filly dizzy. You know.. it feels as if the stairs are moving, but they are not!
Now, for those who will say that running down the escalator is easy I have only this to reply: it took me 45 minutes to get my PC's Bluetooth to work so that I could transfer the photograph I took as evidence! And when I managed that, it failed to transfer it after all, so I had to use the memory card itself. So I don't want to hear or see escalators for some time OK?
