    Hi Al, we will be good at the mall as long as the bipeds act well. I 
am amazed that these people are not stomping on small children. When I 
was at the mall I met a man and his wife, he was in a manual chair and 
she was pushing him. They were up against a store wall and couldn't 
move. They were telling me how hard of a time they were having trying to 
negotiate around the mall with all the people running into them. I 
smiled and send No problem, follow me. It was easier for me to clear a 
path that they could follow to get to the store they wanted. The sound 
of the motor and a quick glance convinces people that they should move 
and watch were they are stepping. It is really amazing the difference 
between traveling in a manual chair and a tricart. The bipeds tend to 
take more care when they may be the one hurt instead of you.
     We are plotting another trip next week, but haven't decided exactly 
where yet. One of the places we would like to go isn't really accessable 
so we will have to either figure a way around that or something else to 
do. Hopefully we will have semi decent weather. But we have sorted 
decided that short of a blizzard we are going anyway. We keep you post 
on the further advetures of the two wandering women.
                                         Pandora
