It might surprise some of you to hear that I still haven’t thought of a name for my new chair. I got a new powerchair, a Volt, two or three weeks ago: sturdy and reliable, it’s great for city life. It’s slower than my old F55, so I wasn’t sure I liked it at first, but it has proven ideal for getting on and off busses etc. And although the charger makes quite a din, the battery life is good too. Time, then, to give her a name, as I did with her predecessors, Defiant and Bat’leth. The problem is, I can’t think of one. I usually chose something Star-trek related: Defiant was named after a cool little warship from Deep Space nine; Bat’leth was named after a type of klingon sword. They were both sleek and powerful, and thus needed sleek and powerful names. My new char is different: More practical and reliable than sleek and powerful. So what can I call her? To let her remain unnamed would be dull. I’m thinking of calling it Yosemite, after the ‘old faithful’ geyser there, but I’m still open to suggestions.
