That's my simplified lay mouse understanding of what I've read on why biologics lose their effectiveness over time. Whatever the exact physiological process, after X months, the joint inflammation gets increasingly worse to the point we decide it's time to try something else. (I took a couple of them that didn't help at all).

And as we can all attest, "work" in my case is as relative as yours.

It sounds like illumination is not in the cards.

If it's not icy, I'll go out, but I'd like to have the option to stretch that with studs this year. I may still be limited to mostly paths, though, as the streets can get very narrow and jostling with cars on narrow, sometimes icy roads doesn't seem like fun. I could probably still string together a non-looping metric with the paths in the metro, though, which would be more than enough.

This pic is of the back door of a local restaurant. When you order pumpkin pie, it’s REAL pumpkin pie from the field next door.

The wife and I both need to renew our drivers license and we've been putting off the dreaded trip to the DMV. We decided to finally just get it done, so the wife looked up the appropriate forms last night to fill them out in advance. In her poking around for the forms, she found that the Gov had signed a new law over the summer, allowing DL renewals online.

That's what I've understood their use to be.

Really there just a self-reflective technique. Shuffle the deck, then pull three cards. Depending on what cards are drawn and their orientation (normal or inverted) they have different meanings. You can then take those ideas and see how they apply to your life.
That's what I've understood their use to be.

I've always thought about studs, but the only place you really need them here is on the path which basically turns to a rutted sheet of ice that is no fun to even try walking on.

Some drugs got repurposed from other uses and happen to work. But the ones I mention above were designed specifically for this, so someone should know what is going on.

How aggressive are you looking to get with the studs? Going full blown ride on a sheet of ice or moderately studded to keep things somewhat under control but don't kill your RR as much?
I've always thought about studs, but the only place you really need them here is on the path which basically turns to a rutted sheet of ice that is no fun to even try walking on.
