Daytona Show
You know, I have been keeping this inside me now for a couple of months. We went Daytona for the reptile expo and took a friend that has diabetes and has had his left leg amputated and 4 of his toes on his right foot as well. We were told that he could not bring his scooter in because of space. When we get their we made it about an hour before we had to take the first break so he could regain strength and relieve some of the pain he had at the points of the amputation. I go to check something for him and what do I see, Wayne Hill on his stupid Segway.
I thought about it for a minute, why couldn't my friend bring his scooter but he could have his Segway. He has both of his legs, apparently he can walk fine. What reason is there to not allow a disabled person to bring something that would make their time more enjoyable but he can scoot on his Segway. Needless to say they still spent their normal $2,000 on animals but he was miserable the whole time.
What really got me mad is I open my new Reptiles magazine and there is a pic of Wayne on the Segway all smiles. BS. If you set rules then you should follow them yourself, I don't care who you are or what you do, it does not make you better than other people. Next show leave that damn Segway home or let the physically challenged bring their stuff.
