Hey Tony,
I know that sucks getting stuck and I get stuck in my electric
chair every now and then, my phone has come in real handy
a few times.
I've been patiently waiting on my new Frontier and listen to this,
it's been at the dealers since Monday and I've been waiting on a
Roho seat and a V handle for my joystick which I have on my old
chair but today I call and ask when he's delivering it and he told me
the Roho just came in today along with the V handle and he has to put
them on the chair tomorrow so it will be Monday before delivery.
It takes about 30 seconds to put a cushion in a chair and another
60 seconds to change handles but he thinks I'm buying this shit
he's crazy. When he comes out I'm going to just ask him to show me how
it took 1 week to put on a Roho and V handle, I mean if he was just real
busy shit tell me but fill my ears with crap!
Patiently waiting but aggravated!
Mark

...stuck in the sun
Heyyy peeps....it's
storytime:
i was out at the end of my driveway, which
is down kind of a steep grade, getting my tan in the hottass Fla
sun....I don't sweat at all since SCI, so it builds up in me, but
i'd had enough of the oven, i tried to start my long push up the
driveway...well, my two tires were stuck in deep dirt that was deposited
there from the rains this summer. Anyway, i worked HARD at getting
out, but was digging in deeper...i'm a pretty strong quad, but in just 5
minutes, i was so worn out with the sun beating on me that i was as weak
as a kitten...i love anything that resembles a workout, and this was
kickin my ass.
I FINALLY struggled out, but then i had to
push the steep driveway, then my ramp in...i'm still feeling weak after
an hour.
Moral to the story...don't get stuck in the
sun
peace out...tony

I wrote the following to the Lucinda Williams message
board about what happened at her concert last night. I left out the
part about my dream afterwards, that we took her out for a beer and
flirted the whole night ;-)
do I have to come down off my
cloud now? ;-) God I love that woman ;-)
On a more
serious note, in regards to the concert in Columbus last night. We
arrived at the venue at 6pm, doors were at 7. As I use a wheelchair,
I usually arrive early especially at General Admission concerts.
Since I didn't know this venue I thought it was best we arrive
early. Once in, we were seated in the segregated wheelchair seating
(no complaints really other than it was on the FAR left side). There
was a big middle section where people stand, you could get right up
to the stage. As we were so early, I could have gotten right up
there, but my girlfriend didn't want to stand all night. As I'm a
bit dependent on her to help me, I couldn't and didn't want to leave
her to go up front. We decided that after the first band (the
Awesome Bottlerockets), we would go up there. I was certain that the
people down there would make way to the front for me. We got as far
as two people deep to the front. Everyone up until that point was
very polite and nice, very willing to let us through. As I tried to
get closer to the stage and asked people to move so I could see the
microphone (how rude of me), they refused. Claiming that they had
staked their claim since 7pm, which I said I had as well. I was
appalled !!!! Moving TWO feet to the left would have been fine, as I
would have been able to see the stage. As it was, I could see
nothing but people's backsides and a microphone stand and a speaker,
that's it. The guy directly in front of me wouldn't even turn around
and look at me. We hung around for ahwile and eventually went back
to the "wheelchair seating". I told the individuals who were so rude
that they had "won". Lu was late, so all of this happend before she
came on. Why are people so mean? All I wanted was to see the stage.
He wouldn't have had to forsake his precious place in front, just
move over so I could see. Sometimes I wonder about our society. I
also wonder if he was truly a Lu fan, as this kind of behavior is
contrary to everything she writes about. As it turned out, the
places in the wheelchair seating were WAY better for me, as I LOVE
to dance and move to the music. Those folks up front stood like
statues.
How on earth can you do that when Lu and awesome
Pettibone jam? Oh Well...they (inconsiderate fans) took my joy and I
GOT IT BACK !!!
Lu Forever
