Thanks for the link, Doug. I don't need one at the moment, but I can see (I mean "feel") it coming. Already I use a cane (but I have a scary one).

Hi, Doug. Wish I could pony up for the great opportunity on the complete show. Man, what a deal. Someone is going to score bigtime. I'm sure you'll get an awesome scooter. More trips to Disneyland sounds like a good game plan. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and hope the physical problems become more tolerable. I don't like hearing that people who I like and admire are having a tough time, but I guess that's life. Hang in there, pal. You're an inspiration for many us. Hey, are you going to hit Disneyland for Halloween this year?

Steve...our passes ran out on Oct 1st. BUT they had Halloween up on that day so we got to do it early.
Next trip is either Christmas Eve or day...OR the Wifes B-day in early January. Maybe both. Then mine in April. That will be it for the year I think. We'll be out of tickets and Birthdays. haha. Free Birthdays this year for everybody! whoo hoo!!

Doug,
I was very disturbed when I ran across this thread. I am so sorry to hear of your problems. Good luck, my friend. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Regan

The origin of freaks...
A succubus, while seducing a man, took his sperm, and gave it to in incubus. The incubus gave it to a woman, while seducing her, making her pregnant. The resulting child was deformed. Where Doug stands, or sits, in this cycle, is debatable. But really, he should take it lying down. Doug, here's Dr. Harley's prescription (based, of course, on not-totally-sufficient information)... 40 minutes on a bed of nails, twice a day for a week, once a day thereafter. It'll relax your back, a lot. It sounds like something's pinching, and this will help. And then we can all laugh about how stuck up you got. This will massage our internal organs, and improve our quality of life.

Felix Unger to those speaking riddles.
Regan no need to be disturbed. I'm not. I've tried to say this in numerous ways...I just found a way not to hurt. Simple as that. At Disneyland I see countless people in pain. After 12 or 14 hours of trudging they hurt. Why? $45 and a stigma that they are too young to ride a scooter. BS. Too young for a Walker maybe! The elimination of pain (at least in my case) is so simple...so why put up with it anymore? Why cut days short when you can go bell to bell? $45 and a stigma. Well screw that. That's all it is. If I was twenty again and it hurt this is still the solution. If it is something more serious...well then it is. No hand wringing on this end. :) Thanks though.

It boggles my mind how inconsiderate and oblivious to others that so many are - stopping in the middle of a busy walkway to chat/answer the phone or taking up the entire walkway by walking like a human wall...and slowly. I am a big guy and I find it humorous how many people coming from the opposite direction will see me walking in a straight line on the proper side of the path for traffic, cross over to my side and walk right into me, and nearly land on their ass because they don't understand physics (they don't have enough mass to win) nor see what is right in front of them they are so busy on the phone or yakking. If people are reminded of their responsibility to those around them, perhaps that is a good thing. Same goes for the freeway. In other states, slow drivers KNOW they have to stay to the right and the left lanes are left open. Doesn't happen that way in Calif despite the clear signs.

Bingo Clifford. My most used 'line' at Disneyland is "What? I'm invisible?" I'm a big target.
Kind of difficult for me to bring up to a sudden halt so I just move ahead and they get hit by the middle line of the Packers in some cases. After years of rude stupidity and me getting bumped into, the hit is now on them. Too bad so sad. Sometimes a VERY LOUD "HELLO!!?" brings them up short just before the slam down (I love that one!) Usually they are looking sideways while they walk and when I say "HELLO??" they startle and look at me like I should jump out of their way. haha. Favorite is the entire families that stop and spread out across an entire path totally clueless forcing people to edge around them... and what is it with Asians and DOORWAYS? A cultural hangout to group and chatter? haha...I love D-land!!! Most used D-land lines: Excuse me! Hello!!? Con Permiso!!! What? I'm Invisible? WOW! There ARE other people on your planet!

Scuzzi, Sre Gepetto...but at least they're keeping their sense of obliviousness to others stationary in a doorway, rather than hot-rodding it around on a scooter. (Outta my way, speedbump!)

Aaaah! You need a scooter with an air horn and a battering ram!

Give that battering ram a name. I say, make that thing an "issue", and shape it like a fist.
Borrow from Conan; something like "the fist of Krom". Then yell "Beware the passing of the fist of Krom." Dangle a few "Higleys" from the scooter just to let'em know you mean business. That should work just fine.
Beware of this and that.

Uh...I'm with Leland on that...I'm very careful and polite...I only REACT to others stupidity when directed at my bulk...however after MANY times at the parks I do not recall the Suicide Drivers as he describes...everybody I can remember WERE very careful and usually suffered for it by rude 'walkers' who seem to direct their path as close as possible across the bow of the scooter so the scooter driver has to react to not run the idiot down. These people shall be from here on out known as Organ Doners. Keep in mind TOP speed on most of these Electrics is about 5 mph...and when in a crowded space considerably under that.
