You won't believe what I did yesterday.
I bought this!


Okay, mine is a little cooler, has some more tricked out chrome on the muffler. It is a Kymco People 50 Scooter. It gets 88 MPG and goes up to about 45 MPH. A perfect little urban transport with a retro-Euro design. It's a Chinese make (the instruction manual will be a separate post!) that is really going to give Vespa a run for their money!

This is Hero at Centennial Olympic Park.



Near my brick



It's the first new thing in my life in sooooooo long. By new, I mean something really new to me, like my first car or my first camera; magical times. I guess the last new thing in my life was my first computer some 15 odd years ago. I have had many new ones since then and a new love, new house, new dog(s), new car etc., but they were not the first. I haven't taken up crocheting or any other hobbies that would bring new substrates into my life since then. Now, Heliotrope and owning my first business is on a whole different plane, but it's not my first job.



Man, I covered some ground today, not to scale...
