Also I'm relatively tall - a bit hard to miss. You woulldn't believe the number of people that run into me, cut me off, stop on a dime in the middle of the aisle, and behave in a generally oblivious manner apparently cheering for self-absorbtion and a lack of social awareness.<br /><br />So many people seem to have forgotten that they are participating in community when they are out in public places. <br />(And don't even get me started on the sales clerks!)<br /><br />Nice that Joe can clear a path for the both of you!<br /><br />Good luck out there, and I do appreciate your safe driving!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-50582308021505133032009-12-28T04:49:19.911-05:002009-12-28T04:49:19.911-05:00I was in awe of your bravery when I read about goi...I was in awe of your bravery when I read about going to the sales in a wheelchair.<br />I won't even go on a normal weekend because of all the bodies in the way. They get a kind of tunnel vision that doesn't register wheelchairs AT ALL. Until they end up in your lap of course.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114470051285093104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-46356504352906296592009-12-27T18:52:26.836-05:002009-12-27T18:52:26.836-05:00TAG!

Now Black Friday in the US--I'd be very surprised to see anyone in a wheelchair out at the major sales on that day.FridaWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321658097813377806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-46453536559969779922009-12-27T11:05:01.229-05:002009-12-27T11:05:01.229-05:00I hate it when common courtesy gets left at the cu...I hate it when common courtesy gets left at the curb.
