What's with all these little mats that elderly people like to put everywhere!?  I'm visiting my APs and have been tripping over these things for a week!  Grrrrr!  I don't see why THEY don't trip over them!  Indeed it says on all those pamphlets about preventing falls to get rid of little mats!  These aren't the first elderly people I've encountered that have a passion for little mats, and furthermore, they were't like this until they got into their eighties.  Am I going to suddenly get a passion for these mats!? God, I hope not!
