Wow! Just a few minutes ago, I was on a break from work and finally saw a guy
rolling down the sidewalk on a Segway--an elderly, bearish-looking man-- at the
corner of 43rd Street and 8th Avenue here in Manhattan. Other pedestrians around
seemed to lack curiosity, but I turned my head at the sheer weirdness of the sight.
After having seen countless pictures and videos of them on the web and having
paid attention to all the hyperbole about them many years ago, it was utterly
anticlimactic.
