I can imagine. You're hard enough to keep up with when your feet are operating well in good health. I had the same thought about two scooters at Worldcon in Boston, when Tom Hufford had his, and I had my rental --- they were even the same color. I figured there were a lot of friends that were getting tired enough to want scooters --- if we could have supplied them. (grin)
