Three of a Kind


What a day for scooting! The weather is warm, the day was sunny. I rode into work minutes after a thunderstorm, so it was a wet morning, but only enough to give the ride a little flavor. I took the Metro across town for lunch, and then made a quick stop at Wal-Mart.

Lo and behold, sitting right up front, was a previous year Metro! It even has the same coloration. I parked beside it for the photo, and the cart pusher comes up to me and asks - Do you know the guy that owns the other one? I don't, and he says, "wow, kinda random." I agreed and went inside. A couple of shopping bags later, I walk out and what do I see...

A third Metro has joined us! I didn't even know it was possible to get it in baby blue. As I got ready to ride, the owner of the baby blue comes walking up and says "hi". It's none other than the blonde barista from Iron Horse Coffee house. (I'm sure she has a wonderful name, but the folks at Iron Horse frown on most conventional concepts like name tags. That's why people go there.)

I used the shopping bag hook for the first time, and it worked well. My bread didn't end up on the street. I cruised over to Lake Atatlanta (yes, that's the correct spelling) for the Relay for Life event, and rode mile 400 in the dark. Again, great day with the scooter.

This is really cool.

I'm reading over some of your old posts and wish the weather was scooter friendly.
