And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am left wondering how you don't get off the Segway before it goes over the cliff, though.

At 62, his reflexes and eyesight may not have been at their best.

I wonder what buying some praying mantis for my yard would do. I wonder if they are effective in controlling grasshoppers, ants, flies, or mosquitos.

Erin - you said you had time for research? I may have some insurance stuff later if you really have time.

The edge might have crumbled off, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm just running the numbers in my head, but if your reflexes don't get you off the 12 mph vehicle in time, or your eyesight doesn't see the cliff, you shouldn't be operating the machinery.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Perhaps he was being chased by Wile E. Coyote. Or maybe velociraptors on hoverboards.

Is there a safety strap? Perhaps he couldn't unhook that?

So something we talked about last week has a happy ending:

Abandoned Dalek goes to new home

The mysterious Dalek found last week in an Exeter, England elementary school has found a foster home with John Hadlow, proprietor of a film and TV memorabilia shop in the area. Apparently he will eventually be donated to charity. From This Is Exeter:

Mr Hadlow said: "I felt so sorry for him being stuck in a school cupboard so I've brought him to the shop and he is stood next to the other Dalek.

"He is also going to have a bit of a refurb and be tidied up.

"No one has come forward to claim him since the appeal in the Echo so we can only assume he was dumped."

msbelle, I do have time presently, and would be happy to help! I've bid on a couple of freelance jobs, but no nibble so far, so my time is free now to help out THE NICEST.

I don't claim any kind of insurance expertise, but I can sure look shit up.

coolness, once I gather all the info I will send you an email. Basically it is crunching the numbers of: what I pay now for monthly cover + copays. To compare with: what a high deductible coverage would cost + full price visits. I need research (probably just via esurance) on options of the high deductible options.
