 NB> Yeah... factors such as jet-lag, dehydration, etc can affect, too.  :)

I drink so little water, even on planes. I don't generally do
dehydration - the system is just used to it, I guess. Of course,
that makes my blood numbers looks suspicious.

Amazing what one gets used to. Both ways. Sometimes, when I've
been immobile for whatever reason, I have managed to scrape
together meals of reasonable palatability, provided I have
onions. And even then, sometimes dried will do the trick.
The selection at Weggie's really does spoil you, though.

Not only do I not get dehydrated, I don't get constipated, either.
Actually, all green vegetables have that particular effect on me.

 NB> Interesting.  At RIT, it was usually the other way... at least among

Funny. I don't know any doctors or engineers who keep Kosher.

I wouldn't have been able to swing a cane for want of a good
solid push-off. Don't know about the Seinfeld character, though.

 NB> Glad you are getting better in general... and that the mishap didn't
 NB> undo it all.  The cane might not have prevented that fall, either.

As I don't see my feet too clearly even in daylight, falling
into holes is not unheard of at nighttime. Once long ago I
was walking along a path by a river, having taken the midnight
train home after a concert. Fell into a humongous sinkhole - had
the reflexes to through the viola up and out as I fell. That
sucker was many feet deep (I didn't hit bottom because after
throwing the instrument I lunged for the lip of the hole, but
the thing was taller than me; there was no danger, as there was
dirt at the bottom, but it took several moments of desperate
clawing to get me out of there). That was the most spectacular
of my many acquaintances with pits!
