My MIL qualified also, but we never got her one. Just as easy to drop her at
the door. If I took her to the casino, I'd push her in the wheelchair so it
was not a big deal.

Off on another tangent that is an irksome deed, the driver that parks in the
fire zone while waiting for someone in the store. That can cause traffic
problems, but I saw one guy get fixed up real good. He was sitting is his
big assed SUV and someone intentionally left their shopping cart right in
front of him. The guy kind of smirked. A few minutes later, he just backed
up so he could pull away. What he did not see though was that someone else
left a cart in back of him too. He really looked ****ed at that. I could
not see how much damage there was from my vantage point but I though it
funny.
