No doubt they are often the first ones in motion. As soon as the alarm rings, they rub each other, maybe kissing good morning or good luck to the other. Like a cat, they like to stretch an inch or two. They are small and thin, still an incredible mechanics, and like an ant they can carry much more than their weight. Out of the Sofa I am sitting on, I would say… at least 60 times their weight, probably; a combination of thin movement, joints and connection, up and down all day long, in perpetual action, at times ready to run, to walk, to wait, to stretch… I know without them, my life would be much harder… That’s it! That’s official! I am becoming a “foot fetish”!
