Only if they don't want to be run over.

This is something that people who use scooters and powerchairs have griped about for years, the beeper really isn't loud enough to alert people, they use a very small electronic critter, it's not nearly as loud as the ringtone of a cellphone. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |

I lean toward dual Fiams but there's a VERY limited space unless I stick 'em outside somewhere and there are very few 24V options. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |

For a decent upper-body workout, try a bull roarer. Also self-reinforcing if they don't move. Or, Google "blaster horn." Some are mouth-blown, some are rechargeable, some use canned air, some are little party favors. We used to carry the small Freon variety as bear repellent when fishing in Alaska; said to be more effective than pepper spray. Hey, *there's* an idea: pepper spray... -- Lanny Chambers St. Louis, MO '94C |
