Weather Rant With Segway Segue

This morning, I had to scrape ice off of my windshield. According to Dr. G, down there in Phoenix, they're still using their air conditioner! There is something wrong with this picture!

I went to a long boring conference today for work. I learned nothing and the presentations were not applicable to my job, as is usually the case with these conferences I have to go to. There was one bright spot, though. Most of the exhibitor's tables had candy (can't complain about that!) but one exhibitor, instead of candy, brought a Segway scooter thingy and offered free rides. Being that it was a conference for social workers, almost nobody was interested in riding the Segway! Lucky for me, because I am not the typical social worker! This was only the second time I had ever seen a Segway in person and I was being offered a chance to ride it!!! It was super fun-- kinda scary because the acceleration and brakes are both controlled by simply leaning your body forward or backward, but it was really easy to get the hang of it. I rode it a couple times since NO ONE else wanted to!!! (What is wrong with these people?!?) I totally want one now. They are super cool!
