Five Years Ago Today
Five years ago today I bought a scooter — a red & white 49cc Honda Metropolitan scooter (see post). I had witnessed the horror in New Orleans via CNN. Gas prices spiked.

In two and a half years I put over 6,000 miles on the scooter — what a blast. After my stroke I sold the scooter, no point keeping it around. I had hoped to get another scooter at some point, but that is not looking to be a possibility.

I commend anyone who rides a scooter year round. I've laid mine down twice on slick pavement.
