  1. The new Boston Gliders ads in the local paper are quite entertaining. Free Segway training for all "interseted" parties, a mini tour, some refreshments, so people can to learn more about their business because of "negative press involving many inacurate [!] 'facts' " and BG will welcome people "with open arms" and we should "Keep an eye out for the Segway Street Cleaning team."
