Also they won't cross the "Sundial Bridge (Roadbed is glass) on icy or frosty days because it gets to slippery.

by Art48  Aug 10, 2010

The only time they don't operate is in a heavy downpour or heavy snow.

They've been doing this for quite a while. they have age, hight and weight limits. BTW in Redding where this is, it normally get above 100+ F in the summer. They provide free cooling vests.

They say the segways run for 6-8 hours on a full charge and their longest trip is 2.5 hours. They run them between 6 and 10 mph. They have a short training session before the tour starts. They show it on a video. People catch on real quick. They don't rent them. They are just for the tours. I think the longest tour, 2.5 hours, costs $45. A lot cheaper than the blimp tour in the bay area: cheapest 90 min tour $199.

Off the subject: But I was looking at a park, museum, arboretum in N. Cal called Turtle Bay (turtlebay.org), They have guided tours on Segways, amongst other interesting things, Have you ever heard of them being used for that? Sounds like a great idea. BTW - Catspaw is not female. Has a wife and a very nice sailboat.

Actually it is a hoot to watch her flame for a bit, and then toss in another point when she starts to cool down a bit.

While she is stewing I am off onto other projects, so it is no skin off my butt.

Never give up, never give in to progressives or they will take over the world - and normal people will not like the results.

IMHO.

I don't try to win with catspaw, nor do I reply in kind (flaming).

I try to post reasonable and rational replies to her flaming; it does tend to make her ever more extreme, but this serves to discredit her position to others who might otherwise accept her arguments as fact.

We are playing to a larger audience than just the person to whom we address our comments.

Besides, the fireworks can be entertaining to watch.

Thanks for contributing the cartoon. I was wondering when somebody else would join in.
