Thanks for the thoughts Pam.

Well Sunday I had it together and still a crowd and so I went to three
Simon properties.

All will remain nameless until I hear back from Simon Corporate.

Stop one. Open air style Mall. I spend about 2 hrs, drop some cash and never even see Security. Very nice.

I don't "seek out" security but I don't play "hide and seek" either.

Stop two. Traditional Mall and with in about 15 mins. security told me no Segs. I ask and receive permission to speak to their supervisor. After about a fifteen min. talk I could see that he agreed with my position but was stuck with towing the corporate line.

He basically told me to go shop, called off his dogs and would pretend I was never there. I give him credit very few have the guts to take a chance.

Stop three was the same as stop one. It was late in the day so that may have had something to do with it.

End result very little. Simon needs to either enforce their own rule or comply to the law.

See no "public image" disaster, just a few thousand people that saw a Segway being used safely among a semi-mindless Holiday shopping crowd.

And a ton of "one on one" discussion about the Segway.

Alan

Alan,

I admire both your courage and your tenacity. Keep this up, the world needs more people like you...those who stand by their convictions and try to use peaceful, and legal, means to achieve them.

Regards,

Thanks guys.

I would like to say that I'm out there trying to "break new ground" when in fact I'm just trying to live my life on my terms.

Regards,
Alan
