Segway Slalom

So first let me say that my all-time favorite episode of Arrested Development was the time that Job was at the construction site with his segway. He got caught on a little mound of dirt, and for some reason I couldn't stop laughing at it.
Today we took a walk around the Peccole Ranch walking/exercise path. We saw some ducks, and I decided that we should sit down to watch them for awhile. The weather was gorgeous, and I think ducks are nice.
As we were sitting there, this guy on a segway started barrelling up the sidewalk. He looked very similar to Bernie in Weekend at Bernies, with gray hair combed back, wearing sunglasses. He was weaving around on his segway as if he was downhilling skiing a slalom course. His knees were bent, and he really appeared to be concentrating on it all. The next thing I knew, he ran off the sidewalk, looking mad crazy, onto the grass towards the ducks. At the last minute, he veered to miss the ducks, and they didn't even flinch.
We just looked at each other and started laughing as the segway guy drove off.
