Ooh, look honey, a ramp! We can go shopping

[trouble]

This is almost directly across the street from the retirement home in Mahone Bay, NS.

[Photo shows a lovingly-made ramp up to an antique store... which starts with a significant step up, so most Chairs won't be able to get on it. A sign loving informs all that they "have things Wal-Mart doesn't have". Which I guess is true - Wal-Mart doesn't have Accessibility Fail, for the most part.]

Overall the trip was pretty good, although several other places that were "accessible" were only so if your Chair was very slender.

I find it rather pathetic that we were shocked when we went to the museum in Lunenburg and the person who explained the accessibility accomodations made in the museum spoke to Don, and not me, even though I was doing most of the Chair-pushing. (We left the electric one at home because it doesn't fit in a car.) It was like they thought Don was a real person, who could think and communicate for himself!

That's actually part of the interesting bit - we didn't have to ask. She just told us! :)

I find it very sad that this thrills me.

ANYWAY.

Yes, post it, and I hope you have the energy to rite a letter to the doctor. That isn't cool.
