 Can You Herp Me Now?

Thanks to Yosemite Sam, I’ve always thought of these guys as horny toads. I saw my first one in the Ventana Wilderness sometime back in the 20th Century and only just learned that they also live on Mount Diablo. I got these photos early on my hike up the Black Point Trail and spent the rest of my hike obsessing about finding my other principal quarry, the Chaparral Broomrape, which I didn’t see

 More Broomrapes

Thanks to Ken-ichi over at Flickr for posting directions to this excellent Chaparral Broomrape, a plant I’d never even heard of before, much less seen. The plant is parasitic on the roots of Chamise, and I spent quite a bit of time looking for it before I finally spotted my first specimen, a tiny, flowerless critter maybe two inches high. I reached down to touch it to confirm that it wasn’t just

 Mobility Scooters – 3 Wheel or 4 Wheel

Mobility Scooters are often the perfect solution for those who have difficulty walking, but want to maintain their independence and manage everyday tasks on their own.    It is important that you choose mobility scooters that fit your lifestyle, abilities and plans.  Considerations such as where and when the mobility scooter will be used, weight capacity, battery life, maneuverability, ease of transport, scooter speed and leg room can make all the difference in how much you enjoy your scooter.   You may consider getting more than one scooter to cover indoor mobility, shopping and portability plus all-terrain mobility, long distances and comfort.  Two very difference vehicles. Mobility scooters are not a good option for those who cannot sit erect for long periods or do not have the manual dexterity or strength to operate the controls.

The rest is here:
Mobility Scooters – 3 Wheel or 4 Wheel

 Types of Mobility Scooters

A mobility scooter – sometimes called a power scooter or disability scooter – is simply a motorized device powered by an electrical system with a rechargeable battery.  The seat sits over two rear wheels and there is a flat area for your feet.  Handlebars are used to steer. If you have difficulty walking, or can’t walk at all, mobility scooters can be a fantastic way to get around the house, neighborhood, supermarket, zoo, airport – you name it.  Scooter types vary widely.  Some are lightweight and compact – great for  running errands, but you wouldn’t be comfortable for long.  Some are narrow and others are heavy, wide and stable.  Some have knobby wheels for  rough terrain, but you wouldn’t want to take them into the supermarket.  Vastly different features and uses explains why so many people end up with more than one power scooter.  Types of Mobility Scooters     3 Wheel Indoor / Outdoor Scooters  - For use inside and/or outside the home, these 3-wheeled scooters have two wheels in back and one in front.  Makes for a tight turning radius and lots of leg room.  3 Wheel Travel Scooters -  Compact and able to negotiate narrow places and tight spaces, these lightweight 3-wheeled travel scooters are specially designed for fast and easy assembly and dis-assembly.  3-Wheel Travel Scooters are perfect for outings, vacations, shopping or errands.  When outdoors, use only only on even, paved surfaces.      3 Wheel Heavy Duty Scooters  - Heavy duty scooters are built for larger-framed individuals and have rider weight capacity  ranges from 300 lbs up.  Powerful vehicles with lots of features, plus the tight turning radius found in 3-wheeled scooters.

 5 Things to Consider when Choosing a Mobility Scooter

A mobility scooter is an investment that should be made wisely.  Take some time to research the various options and really make sure you’re getting the scooter that makes the most sense for your lifestyle, size, and use.  Before choosing a mobility scooter, answer these 5 very important questions: 1.  Are you physically capable of operating a mobility scooter? If you can sit upright  for long periods of time and have the dexterity and strength in both hands to safely steer and operate the controls, you are most likely a good candidate for a powered mobility scooter.  If you need special seating options such as positioning pads or you have a disability that requires your legs to be elevated and/or you have limited dexterity or no hand strength you may want to take a look at Power Wheelchairs .  Power chairs are controlled with a joystick mounted on the armrest so they can be maneuvered with one hand.  More advanced steering options are available for those who can’t use their hands.  Power chairs also offer more seating options and legrest options (legrests are not available on mobility scooters).  2.  How much weight must the scooter carry

 Spice Up Your (Love) Life!

It’s Cinco de Mayo, and these spicy señoritas—dressed in sizzling chili-pepper bikinis—have certainly grabbed my attention: Our campaigners have been on the road handing out chili-shaped vegan chocolates across the country, along with plenty of information about why eating meat, eggs, and dairy products just isn’t, well, hot . In particular, the lovely ladies are making the point that adopting a vegan diet can lead to a phenomenal physique and generate plenty of heat in the bedroom .
