Ouch, broken toes are definitely painful! I've broken two in the past; my middle one by kicking the fridge accidentally and my big toe by tripping over the strap of a bag as I was running to get ready for an exercise pole-dancing class! It's exactly the same feeling as that intense pain you get from stubbing your toe, but it just doesn't go away. I hope Homer feels better soon, and you get to enjoy the nice weather.
