 JH> So I am trying to get over the "W/C Fright".....:)
 BL> Hmmm, sounds like we may be able to offer each other a little support

I've got a full leg brace here now that I just can't wear. It makes me
feel like I have a woden leg, and am gonna fall on my face........:) So
I don't wear it! Like you I am slowly moving to the chair, but it ain't
easy getting over the WC/Fright........:(
 JH> Since Oklahoma now has a concealed carry law, our city
 BL> council is considering changing the city ordinance about firing
 BL> weapons in the city limits, to allow firing ranges in the city
 BL> limits.  That makes me think someone is wanting to open one. Sure
 BL> hope so.
 
 JH> Sounds like they might, and hopefully it will be W/C accessible.
 BL> Oh, if it happens, you can rest assured I'll see that it's accessible.
 BL> I may not be rich or powerful, but I have a big mouth and since I live
 BL> in a small rural area, I know a lot of powerful people. 
 BL> Bob...
Go get em Bob! It's the law anyway, but we still have to watch and make
sure they go by the letter. I see stuff all the time that would be pure
Hell getting into in a W/C, yet they make no changes.
Have you noticed in the last few years the service stations? Now you
have to get out go into the stations (which are stores) etc... In my
neighborhood there is just one left that has a little booth out in the
center of the pumps.... It is easy to pay for gas, cigs, etc. So I give
them my business...... The others I have to unload the W/C and roll in,
then roll back out and load the W/C........:( I know this may sounds
like a minor thing, but it eats up time and is a hassle! There are
some new pumps around that except credit cards at the pump (Well not
real new, but new enough) Now I use those, but still miss the little
booths. They were real quick. Hard to teach a old dog new tricks!
Gets old loading and unloading a W/C I am finding out fast......:)
There I go ramblin right along........:) Better shut up for now.......
Later.... James
