RIVERDALE PARK, Md. - The best blogger in the known universe, riverdaleparkette, has fractured dextermetatarsal number five. [ed. note: that's the bone leading to the pinkie toe on the right foot.]

She should be remembered for her bravery in the action that led to the injury.

On Thursday, October 6, the riverdaleparkette was assigned to "Operation Icarus" and her role in the mission was to run as fast as she could from the edge of her driveway to the end of her property line. Although it was dangerous, she felt she was up to the task. As the events unfolded, however, she would come to regret her decision.

It was with a slight hop that she put her right foot forward. Three steps into it and she was down, but not before sliding about five feet on the sidewalk.

Her foot is not in a cast, but splinted. The riverdaleparkette requires the aid of crutches and "gofers" during the time her bone heals.

Also a casulty in this mission was her left knee, which sustained an abrasion.

Her favorite pair of pants remain in critical condition; if a patch cannot be found in time they might never recover.
