Exactly, I figure out how to make absolutely anything unsafe.

Yesterday I took the Segway down 'danger hill', named after a sign that says "danger hill" due to how steep it is. I took my daughter, who stands on my feet, and she wore a helmet. Prior to embarking, I said I might have to toss her off if things get crazy, and she'd have to land on her feet. She accepted that scenario.

I didn't end up having to toss her off, and we managed the sketchy descent on the Segway (I've crashed twice just by myself), and listened to the street music in town.

Also took the canoe out on the lake to enjoy the last day of high 80's temperature.
