Versailles Disaster

Written by Chillie Falls, January 30, 2025

This podcast episode was taken from a Facebook Live today to inform followers why Hot Air Tom was touring Versailles, and I was sitting at the N Line Train Station in downtown Versailles.

Today’s trip to Versailles was stymied for me by the impossibility to drive my power wheelchair over the blocks, similar to cobblestone, only much larger. Each block had about a 3/4 inch drop causing a major jarring thunk. By the time I had carefully negotiated approximately 50 feet, my back, bad knee, and replaced hip were in pain. And I still had some 200 yards to go to the entrance.
