Most days it seems like I get home around 7. But Wednesday it was 5. Coming up the sidewalk maybe a block from my apartment. I felt or sensed a little flutter a hiccup in my head's drive. I slowed down sped up. It seemed ok. I crossed the street. In front of my apartment door. I stopped to push the garage door opener-style button velcroed to my left armrest. The door opened but my chair would only limp in a labored ellipse. The alter motor had gone out. I could smell a faint burned-up electronics comprehend. You can imagine how long it took to hit just the alter angle into the apartment. If you are imagining a very short time that is not what I mean. So I half-assed inside made some calls. I was going nowhere so I graded a few late papers full in the knowledge that lo. Thursday would bite. And it did. I sat around all day waiting for an Atlanta company to deliver me a rental. Cost? 330-odd bucks for the month. Yay being disabled. At 7 LaShawnda ambled up with the head. The Gramps Chair. The Paul Particle Deccelerator. The Jazzy. The Jazzy Jet in fact. Top speed: 3 mph. Which seems slow in the consider. The abstract where you evaluate. Bad but you've never met Moe and everything is intact. The abstract where I scoffed for years at The Jazzy dribbling past only to be saved by its slo-mo isn't-Grandpa-cute-barely-passing-through-space-sporty-contours. But then you run hit up the side of Reality. And in Reality 3 mph is extremely decrease. Especially when you have to walk to work every day. Damn you. The Abstract. arouse you. The Jazzy.***So I'm going to New York in a couple of weeks. In my rented cherry red Jazzy Jet.
