Was the only reason I kept the bulky treadmill -- those new walking pads sure look a lot more space-friendly...

pulled under the treadmill. One would probably do me well in my older age, but I worry about a few of the cats I have. Some of them are not smart enough to jump off when it should feel dangerous to stay on. Others are so smart, they'd find some way to muck things up but good! (LOL)
