Fall

Fall went too fast for me this year. I hate to see it go. The leaves are gone now, and the frost comes almost every morning. I'll have to get out and get some pictures of it because even though it is cold it's wonderful. I love taking pictures in the fall. No matter where you look everything is beautiful! It has snowed twice already. Nothing has stuck yet but winter coming.

Fire Hazard

I was called a fire hazard by the security guard at a Tenth Avenue North concert. Mom is in love with this band and she order tickets months in advance. They were special ticket that got us in early and really good seating. We went with a group of eight and we were sitting in the third row back. I we sitting in the aisle and had been there for about an hour, people were walking around me without a problem. The show started and around the start of the second song, I was told that I have to move because it was a hazard for me to sit there. In the case of a fire the 15 people in front of me would not be able to get out. If the building had caught fire I think that I would have been the first one out. I can move! I wouldn't sit there and say "oh, look the building seems to be burning. I should stay right where I am and get in peoples way so that we all die." The man said that I could move onto a normal chair or to the very back of the room to the wheel chair appropriate seating and I could take one person with me. Just one person, because everybody knows that us handi-cappers don't have friends. I chose the normal chair. So now I am completely immobile and the man took my chair to the back of the room. Now if there had been a fire, I block all the people just in my row not all of them, I cant move and I don't thinl the man wouldn't think to bring my chair back to me and if he did, he would have to fight the crowd to get to me. The whole thing was silly. I did end up moving to the back because when everybody stood up all I could see were butts. But even in the designated seating when the people stood up it was hard to see.

And they put all the merchandise on the second floor and no one could find the elevator. And when they did they said you have to go outside, around the side of the building and down several steps. Silly people.
