She was a street reporter working in the harsh Minnesota elements for years, and never let that fact that couldn’t walk stop her from getting the big story. She was also my friend.

I like wheelchair snowplows, but for some reason this pisses me off. I think it’s because the person in the wheelchair has absolutely no control of it. Talk about an invalid-ey feeling.

And does anyone know if powerchairs allowed on the ice? I think I might be good at this sport! I’m from Minnesota and I’m over half Swedish, I should just be good naturally, right? ;)

Is this the best you can do?
If this was an action figure of me I’d be pissed. Good thing Jake Sully is a fictional character, and has no access to lawyers.
