Watch out for solid oak spiral staircases

Lately, I've taken to wearing a broad-rimmed hat whenever I go to work out in the yard in an attempt to prevent any more brown spots from invading my face. Yesterday I came in to get something, but didn't bother to take off my hat because I was going right back out. Now, this hat does a marvelous job of blocking the sun rays, but unfortunately it also blocks about 75% of my vision. So I was involved in a head-on collision with the staircase (emphasis on "head"), and I guess you could say it was totally my fault, seeing how the staircase was permanently parked --as it has been for the last 25years-- near the hallway entrance. I just walked into it, and I hit it so hard it actually knocked me to the floor. DeRees, the sweet husband that he is, came up with this brilliant idea to make sure I was protected from any more accidents.
