Wheelchair Shopping Well, they™re having the end-of-model-year clearance on all 2006 models down at Dare™s Chairs and Appliances. I stop by there every once in a while, just to see what he™s got on the lot. He™s got a pretty good selection of used models, but I don™t know, I feel kinda funny buying one of those. Might just be buying somebody else™s problems, right? Or, what if the previous owner was one of those folks that™s about a hundred and fifty years old, died in the chair in the back hallway of Chumley™s Rest Home and sat there for a week before they found him? Shoot, if he™s been dead in the chair THAT long with nobody noticing, might as well bury him in it! ANYHOW, as I say, Dare™s Chairs and Appliances is having their end-of-model-year blowout on all 2006 models, so I just had to look. Nothing wrong with the Hoveround we™ve got, really, and the Rolls Rice pusher chair we have looks and feels like¦well, looks and feels like it™s ALWAYS looked and felt. I sit in it sometimes when we chat at bedtime, her in the bed and me in the chair.Well, as I said, I was at Dare™s Chairs and Appliances, kinda strolling around the lot when there, right there at Dare™s Chairs, there it was. Candy Apple Red with the big metalflake, chrome alloy wheels, fat tires, dual batteries, and a seat made for a big fat person. PLUSH, know what I mean?! Even had one of those squeeze-ball horns and the little plastic streamers flapping in the breeze, hanging from the ends of the handlebars. A shadow fell across the chair and a heavy hand clapped down on my shoulder. For an instant I thought Lucifer himself had showed up to drag me away to a most unfortunate and eternal demise, but then I summoned the courage to look up at the broad, smiling face and beady little eyes of Dare " Dare, of Dare™s Chairs and Appliances.
