Unable to Put His Foot Down

Last spring at White Sands, these tracks stunned me.

Of course I'd seen Aster walk, so I knew how much time he spent on his toes.  But there was something about seeing the trail of evidence that stunned me.  The kid did not put his right heel down.

This time last May I was in Colorado for his gait analysis.  They hooked him up to fancy computer equipment and had him walk with electrodes on in front of a blue screen.  They concluded that he didn't put his foot down.  I refrained from mentioning they could have just laid out some mud or sand.
