I bought a scooter. Jenny indulged me. She says I’m having a mid-life crisis. I figure that doesn’t actually happen until I buy a real road bike. The deal is that I get a scooter and she gets a vacuum.
This is what it looks like.
The scooter
I’m imagining my dad making comments about a Mickey Mouse motorcycle. I remember hearing about the minivan he bought while I was on my mission and something about a Mickey Mouse steering wheel. I’m ready for the comments — bring it on.
It will go about 40 MPH … at full throttle … downhill. It’s a long drive from Mead to Greenacres at full throttle … in the snow.

Seth thinks your chopper is cool. Mason
says it is funny lookin’. Kyleigh wants to know where you ride it and she thinks it is funny too. Grampa thinks it is fun! Grandma is worried, cause that’s what grandma’s do “Get a helmet, rear view mirror and stay on the back roads or on the sidewalks because he’s my only son.”

Grandma will be glad to know that Washington law requires rear view mirrors in order to be street legal and a helmet in order to not be dead. I think they would pull me over and take away my motorcycle license if I rode on the sidewalk.
