Mothers, don't let your sons grow up to be DUI/DWI Defenders!

I was recently invited by some friends to attend an ASU Football game. We had a great time (ASU won!) but, while walking out of the stadium, we were talking about the pre-game tailgating drinking parties held throughout the parking lots, and the amount of alcohol that would be consumed by attendees before they hit the road. While they don't sell alcohol in the stadium, the role it plays in the evening is hard to miss.

When we returned to our car, we found a card under the windshield wiper, compliments of the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor, P.C., promoting his business. I personally found it disgusting and dangerous. The card gave a number of very specific do's and don'ts about what to do when you are stopped for investigation of a DUI/DWI offense.

I found it extremely disturbing that a law firm would distribute information that, I believe, could be deemed an encouragement for the intoxicated driver to get behind the wheel of his or her car, now that they armed with the attorney's best advice for their defense, if stopped.

Perhaps it is time that law firms who engage in this practice be able to be charged as accomplices in the event someone is injured or killed by one of these well unfortunately informed drivers!

David Cantor ... I hope your mother doesn't see one of these cards!

If you find it disgusting, call (602) 307-0808 or (888) 722-6867 and let them know!

Lots of Changes

I just looked back at my last blog and found that it was six months ago. Wow! A lot of things have changed in that time. While I was one of many impacted by Hanger/Linkia's power play in the O&P Community, I've left that group.

At the end of March, as a result of an infection, my surgeon performed a hip disarticulation on my residual left limb. Because of my tendancy toward infections, we determined that it was in my best interest to avoid prosthetics and work on my upper body strength. I've added a small scooter to my garage for use on longer treks and have ordered a HandBike to help me get in shape and work on the needed upper body strength. It should arrive within about 10 days ... I'm excited to get back on self-powered wheels!!

Because certain handbikes are impossible to find or see in Arizona, I'm establishing a relationship with Bike-On.com, a premier distributor for handbikes, recumbents and more! You can check out my connection at www.ArizonaHandBike.com!

I'm looking forward to helping others, in my community, get active with these exciting bikes!
