dangers on the road

Well, walking to my mom's house today to meet with her and Dad to go to Mass, I felt a sudden twinge in my right toe area. YOWCH! I said. My sister Jane, power walking a few strides ahead, turned to ask what it was. I was already pulling a nail out of the front part of my sneaker sole. Let's just say it was not a nice new nail. "Now you have to get a tetanus shot," Jane cheerily informed me. "They were giving them out for free." (Just what I always wanted, I for whom "free" is such a welcome word.) It wasn't a BIG puncture wound (the toe is small!), but it did draw blood. Dad suggested asking my sister Mary (the nurse) about the shot, but Mary has the flu. So tomorrow (Martin Luther King Day; will the public places be open?) I will have to do some research and get me a tetanus shot.
I thought mold would be the problem.
