Common for some folks -
rare for me!
Early this morning, an elderly lady of means, apparently, slid out of her Escalade and walked past.
Looking at my LIKE parked by the curb, she asked, "Is that yours?"
"Yes ma'am."
"It looks like fun!"
"It is!"
Later a mail man rode up on his scooter. He pops into Tom's most mornings on his way to the post Office, just down the street.
We chatted about his scooter. It's a 50 and he lives in the village - so perfectly good for intown use.
Later a passerby asked, looking it over, "Is that a Vespa?"
"Oh goodness....
no! that kinda stuff can get a fellow beat up! It's Chinese!"
He was puzzled at my remark. He doesn't know Vespa owners.
Low bright sun in my face on much of my ride home...so stopped and put the painter's tape on. Works a treat - much better than my drop-down sun glass thing.
That darkens
everything. Including shadows. In and out of tree shadows all the way home - any one of which can be hiding a deer standing in the road. Ask me how I know!
It ain't elegant. But look at the rider!
