Will do. Not much to post so far. A fella up the street got a peace scooter not too long ago. So I walked up there and knocked on his door and asked him about where he found a helmet at around here. He came outside and talked to me for a good while, giving me tips and telling me about registering it at the police station and all. He let me borrow his helmet for a few minutes so I did at least get to ride it about a block down the street and back up the street.
Before that my neighbor's son a few doors away was pulling up to visit his mother and he saw me trying to push that big thing up the hill and through the yards and really soft ground to get it to the road. He rolled his window down and yelled down to me, "Did you get a scoot?" So I yelled back up and said, "Yeah, that means you're gonna teach me how to ride it now, right?" He laughed and parked his car then came over and got it to the road for me. lol. He said it seemed a little heavier than his. I think his is a chinese scooter, too.
I live waaaaay down in the bottom and I have to go through two neighbor's yards to get it to the road because the only other way is up two flights up steps. lol. There's a small rock wall between my place and the next yard and I had to make a little ramp to get it over there. (Yes I tried to go around it, but the ground is soft and slanted on a hill where that little wall ends so I lost my footing and fell. I managed to keep the scooter from falling all the way down to the ground, though. I just got a little dirty and my heart raced a little faster. Whew!)
So then he tried to convince me to take it up the hill to the college because everybody on the street knows that parking lot will be the best place get my bearings and get a feel for things. When college is out for a break kids will ride their bikes there. I used to with my son. But I just kept looking up that loooong steep hill, sid, and shaking my head. We have three roads out of here to the road the college is on and they are ALL hills. We decided which was the smallest one. He offered to ride it up for me if I drove his car, but I said UH-UH, no way, because I know you will get it up there and take off to make me learn how to get it back down the steep hill myself. Then everybody will see Rianna sleeping on the sidewalk by the college tonight.
