The quote from the DNT article shown below suggests that anyone in a motorized wheelchair better have someone push them manually when leaving a Proctor bar if they don't want a ticket.

"Proctor City Prosecutor Ronald Envall said he charged Anderson under the portion of Minnesota law that makes it a crime to operate a self-propelled motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. He declined further comment."

That stearing thing on the seat makes the chair look like something from the Nine Inch Nails Happiness in Slavery video.

Looks like the Proctor PD is getting some new uniforms.

..reminds me of David Lynch's film, "The Straight Story", without the drunkenness. See this movie.

Here's what ya do...

You run with Barrett's idea complete with remote vid and gps, and the company that rents these remote vehicles/mini-taxis hires a bunch of kids wanting to make a buck by playing a video game on Wii that gets the person home.  Your life in the hands of strangers.

Nah, j/k, it would for me make for a great flick, though.

Honestly, it would be cool if we eventually put into practice self-guided vehicles with the option to turn it off if need be.  You could allow people to do everything within except certain areas.

Kind of like a "oops, honey, that was fun around those last few corners, but we just hit a car DMZ, so let's throw on some music or DVD" type thing.

I'm really tired of duluth showing up in the AP's strange news feed.

did you miss the memo? Duluth is synonymous with "crazy place on the edge of nowhere"... it always has been. it's a punchline for the businessman who's been sent into exile, the nowhere your wife is from... the name itself is pronounced in such a way that it's funny just alone. we all know that... might as well celebrate it's oddness.

this incident made my friend from San Diego say, "it's like you live in the tv show Northern Exposure."
