How pray tell do you not go with the chair while it stays outside?

That is rediculous.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
 Puppies are the joy at one end.
 Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Debra,

To add to the mountains to climb list (or sometimes people just don't
think):  If I am going somewhere I have never been I usually call ahead to
find out if it is accessible and on this occasion the secretary said yes, if
I could manage 3 steps. Now I know there are wheelchairs that do steps  but
they are still rare and mine doesn't.  I have also been told I was welcome
at a temple [Buddhist, in this case] if I could leave the chair outside. I
cannot help but wonder if the answers would have been the same if they saw
me but maybe that would not have made a difference.

Amy
