Watching a village awaken...
« on: July 03, 2021, 11:11:01 AM »

 For years, with my scooter,  I've been able to watch a town and a village as it wakes up, in all kinds of weather.
Street vendors setting up, stores prepping out front, some few aimlessly walking - unable or unwilling to stay in bed.

Often, my ride is over for the day by the time the world is fully in gear😊

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Many year's ago, make that many decades ago when I had a paper route I would be done with my route before anyone woke up. I received my papers at 4 am and if I hurried at could go back to bed before having to go to school. Later in life when I worked shift work I would watch many spectacular sunrises from the control room. I remember thinking about the vivid colors on the horizon.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

Something else we have in common KK, I had a paper round too.  Bit more of a sociable hour for me though, clocked on at 5am!

Haha..my paper route was when I was 12 and 13. Started at 5:30 AM with the house with the old guy in his robe who would yell at me for being late! A buddy of mine had a paper route, too, and we'd meet at Donutland for donuts and soda on Saturday mornings around 6:30 AM..good times..
