The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

scooter
The guy who comes in work at night to clean up owns a scooter. He says they're great fun and he and his family ride theirs every Saturday. I asked him "why not a motorcycle?" and he told me because his scooter is almost nothing to maintain, it cost only $1500 brand new (he's had his since 2002), its automatic, and insurance is $80 per year! He rides it all day on Saturday for about 9 months of the year. He says it costs him $2-3 per week in gas!
