Re: Stairs

MGH,

Good lord, man; looking at your stash, you need to warn the people living directly beneath that it's quite likely you'll be "dropping in" on them unexpectedly some day. Or you could say, "I'll be weighing in when you least expect!" !OMFG!

Re: How does this play ..........

Hi Stuart,

My original comment concerned the right side of the game looking straight on. Taking a closer look, what I mistook for a control lever is actually a knob on the door to a cabinet IN THE DISTANT BACKGROUND! Oooops! Time for new glasses; or another scotch.
