No argument from me, Howard. I work in a school that has a program for disabled kids, and it is, bar none, the best place in the building. If my day is going badly, that's where I go to find a happy spot.

What amazed me was the sheer effrontery of assuming, because he was old and in an electric cart, that he could safely bully me and I would not react.

Other people who have heard the story tell me they would never have argued, but would instead have skulked quietly away. It was amazing how tempting that was!
