cool gift from admin of the vespa forum
« on: November 09, 2026, 12:38:02 AM »
The creator/administrator of the modernvespa.com forum has roots in Yellow Springs. He PM'd me several days ago and let me know that "someone has something from me, for you - and will find you eventually in Y.S."
Some time ago he posted a spy photo of me sitting on the Group W one morning.



The morning of the big rain last week I was approached by a nice lady under an umbrella. She checked that I was "the Group W guy" - we chatted. She said her step-son, the creator of the modernvespa forum had let her know that there was some guy in Yellow Springs who actually followed his site!
She said, per his instructions, she had been looking to make contact with me, and give me a small gift.
What a nice surprise! and it was raining cats a dogs that dark morning!

She asked, took my photo. I forgot to take hers!
Christopher, my bench buddy, had woken up in time to witness this, saw the little velvet bag, and thought I was making a drug buy :)

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.
