I trust that you are doing well. Feel free to embark upon any chiding that you may wish regarding the victorious Goober Squad over my young impressionable friends from just up the road. Quite frankly I was disappointed that you didn't drop the blade upon my neck after being taken to task by Bucket in the fortnight leading up to the contest. Have you fallen ill? I imagine that you will have your Rat Face on in the next get together?

Well, after enough contests, learned to wait until the end of the season to gloat. Have some conflicting memories of '91 when we lost to those baby blues by 30 in the ACC Championship, only to pull off one of the greatest upsets in NCAA history over the Running Fugitives of UNLV.

Back to the point, you can even draw more parallels when you consider divying up a walking machine in to zones 1(trunk & hips), 2 (leg & knees), 3 (feet & ankle). Zone 1 powers & positions the legs and feet. Zone 2 is the lever assembly. Zone 3 is predominantly sensing(or propioception) to make sure the walking is correct.

Since I know you have young kids, you probably remember how your lil Parfait hesitantly took his first steps. My boys all started by mostly by focusing on their feet. Not recognizing that the trunk could do the work, it was a bit herky-jerky. But once the feet are "educated". They let it swing & it is much smoother.
