You know, there *is* one particular biped of the female persuasion that I 
have become very interested in lately, and I've come across a question 
that maybe you or someone else here with wheelchair experience might be 
able to answer... No, it's nothing like *that* :-). It just turns out 
that she is very fond of going to the beach and I used to love to do that 
too, before I became a wheelchair user. Considering that summer is going 
to be here soon (I hope, I hope) I was wondering if you might have any 
ideas on how to overcome the logistical nightmare I foresee of trying to 
maneuver around in sand with a wheelchair? Thanks.
 
Michael
