When you see someone my size on a Segway, it’s a bigger attention getter. All of us who use our Segways know what I’m talking about being an attraction. Having lived for over 6 decades in a world not built to my scale, there are some things I can use a little help doing. But for the most part I can do whatever I need to do. I’ve also learned that when it comes to something that someone wants to assist me with, if I’m not already doing it, it’s better to let them do their good deed for the day. It not only makes them feel a litter bit better, it also gives them a story to tell in the future. Especially when we’re on our Segways.

Thanks for sharing Greg, you expanded my mind a bit. I may try and change a bit. I can always work on my self-reliance and skills on my own time by myself, maybe I will just let others join in more to make them feel good too. Its going to take some practice as I am so used to taking care of myself and doing what I can as a rule.
