This is how I roll. At the moment…

Not the kind of scooter I usually rideI look like I’m having so much fun, don’t I? (Paul Nickell iPhone photo)

The right foot is doing well, thanks. I have to wear a weird-looking bootie, and use a cane to keep weight off of it, which is not a lot of fun when trying to navigate a ginormous grocery store. Good thing Fred Meyer supplies lots of (oh, hell) scooters to make shopping for those of us whose legs don’t work at 100% efficiency easier…

    Orin:

    That’s fine for the store, but how do you & the groceries get home? Perhaps you need a store with delivery service. Would be cheaper in the long run ’cause what you don’t see you don’t buy.

    does that thing lean into the corners ?

    take care,

    bobskoot, in this case I caught a ride from Pablo, but Portland has way better public transportation than Seattle, so it’s really easy to take a bus somewhere. And most of TriMet’s buses are newer low-floor New Flyers (made in Canada, at least partially), so I can hobble on and off with the cane…

    Orin, your expression says it all. Hope you won’t need that kind of scooter much longer.

    By the way, you know what I said about it being too cold here for 2-wheeled travel – well, today it’s 60 and that’s HOT up here. Still have to wait for spring though.

    Dear Orin:

    I am waiting for the next ride report regarding the scooter in the supermarket. I expect to hear of your exotic find in aisle “7,” the imported food section. I want to know about the “hot-looking” person in aisle 6, whom you met by saying, “Want to ride bitch?” I anticipate the details from the “race” you had with “Produce Gertie,” when the celery hearts went on sale. And above all, I want to be drawn to emotional distraction by the story of the busload of Victoria Secret models who were trapped in the parking lot, until you gave them a jump.

    And remember, don’t limit a good story bt adhering to truthful details. Get well soon. In the meantime, give ‘em hell.

    Fondest regards,
    Jack • reep • Toad

    Is that the new three-wheel concept, Orin?
    Hope you’re doing better.
    All the best,
