[nagdu] Moving sidewalks

[Doug Parisian]

Larry, the foot idea works well and, were I to use those moving sidewalks 
more, that's probably what I would do but as you saw from a previous 
message, the game I described was too much fun.  Indeed, on escalators, I do 
as you describe, putting my best foot forward of course.

Doug: written with sole!

: Tracy, you can do it by putting your foot out. When your foot finds the 
end,
: then have your dog jump off. I do this on the esclator as well. My foot
: finds the end a couple of steps before Holly's does. I do this on purpose 
so
: as not to run the risks folks have been talking about to her feet.
