The Unofficial Alan is a Fucktard thread

Now that I'm 65 and could not do it, one of the things that impresses me about my youth was that in the 90's, I covered at least seven miles most days walking in Las Vegas to check numbers. Checking numbers, cross-referencing, back-tracking if necessary. I would usually have a car just two days a week because the day-to-day checking was in fact easier on foot than driving/parking/driving/parking. I never appreciated how physically brutal that was until I could no longer do it. And in my youth, it didn't really bother me. It was just part of the routine.

Looking back, I don't think 10% of the population could have handled that routine (mail carriers excepted, of course) in LV heat. I had a cross-country/track background, so I never considered it a big deal. Now I do.

You can rent mobility scooters on the strip. I blast around the parking lots, hotels and casino floors in my unit. It goes 4.5 MPH and a full charge lasts 15.5 miles. It vastly speeds up everything I do and I can do it much longer. I can still walk but this this damn things just speeds up everything I do. It costs me money not to use it. And I like not being run down at the end of the day.

Here's the next chair I buy in the link. It's lightweight, under 60 pounds, carries up to 400 pounds, runs 5 MPH and does about 15 miles on a full charge. The batteries are lightweight, just 4 pounds so you can pack around extra batteries in the basket underneath if you need more mileage in a day. And it'll fold up and fit in the trunk of a compact.

A lightweight foldable power chair will put you back in action, redietz.

Thanks, mickey. These days, I figure I could keep with the chair for about 25 minutes. Then that would be the end of me.

I still get plenty of walking in even tho I have the chair. Think of the power chair as a car. The convenient store is a mile away. Do you want to walk, good exercise but takes more time, or drive to it, much quicker?

I've seen a gang of what looked to be Somalis cruising around casinos checking RRs. LV isn't what it used to be. Wonder how much is they're afraid fo being sued. Or maybe dudes are gone before someone in charge could make the call. Hard to police when the guys can claim some medical issues I guess.
