I have just one thing. When I cross a busy street, I walk as if I were not
a Parkie. Sometimes I can imagine I am crossing the street.

I have two things to add . . . hardware floors that are perpendicular to
your walking direction are better than hardwood floors that are parallel (I
guess this would go for lineal patterned flooring as well). Also, I have
heard that it helps to "imagine" that you are stepping over something.
