Today was a great day for scootering to the Public Market to meet my peeps for brunch.
Looks like even the Public Market folks thought my scooter looked good parked there! They posted a picture of it on their Facebook page.
Had a great catch-up and brunch with Aprille and Tina. Flour City Bread Company breakfast sammies and Java's iced coffee and then some veggie shopping.
When I was at drupa we had a corporate scooter mascot. My coworker brought it from Stuttgart. I think he said it was from 1957.
And now it is scooter weather in Rochester! Scooted to Girls Night Out this week.
We finally got our scooters out on the road this season. Aaron's needed a new battery. To celebrate we took them to Buck Bucks.
Aaron picked up Yes Man from Red Box and I wasn't sure I wanted to watch it. I had sort of sworn off Jim Carey movies, but it turned out to be pretty good and it had Zoey Deschanel in it!
And Zoey rides a scooter! (Aaron says it's an Aprillia scooter)
I love her helmet too! It has eyeballs on it! It totally made watching the movie worth it.
I seem to be accumilating mugs on my desk at work. I esp like the one I just got at the Olympics because the lid keeps my tea warm a little longer.
There are lots of bikes, mopeds and scooters in Beijing. Not as many as there used to be I am told.
I saw this orange scooter with pandas on it outside the Olympic Green.
Domo insisted on trying out this moped we saw. Not quite his size.
I like the Hello Kitty mudflap on this scooter. I wonder what the sign above it says?
I am taking oodles of pictures here in Beijing. I posted some tips for taking travel pictures over on 1000 Words Blog so be sure to take a look and let me know what you think there.
And did you know Kodak is on Flickr? Our newest digital picture frame can display your images from Flickr so we started a photostream there. Check it out and add us as a contact if you like.
Last night I went for my first ride with scooter club this summer. Well, actually I left my Buddy behind and rode with Aaron, 'cause we went for a really long ride with lots of hills.
We ended up at Mona Lisa's Gelato Cafe in Webster. Scooter riders like their ice cream.
Today we went to pick up MY NEW SCOOTER! It took us awhile to find one that was small enough for me and we decided on a Buddy. And I got it in pink! I can hardly stand it.
I have to get my insurance and registration and then Aaron is taking me out to practice riding. I am guessing that since I now have it... it will rain the rest of the week... I'm pretty sure.
We picked up my scooter from a shop by Ithaca, so we spent the afternoon there and had dinner at Moosewood to celebrate the new the new scooter.
Pictures of the new scooter and our afternoon in Ithaca are on My Gallery.
This evening I was puttering around the house when Aaron came running inside. He was supposed to be at scooter club (Negative Image Scooter Club)... and he was... he just brought them all to our house.
I hopped on and we were off. If you think you get some stares zipping along on a scooter... try it with a gang of 15 scooters.
It was so much fun. I shot some more videos... this one and a couple more here.
Now that it is nice outside, Aaron has his scooter running. We spent the weekend scootering here and there.
I love riding on the scooter. Somehow you can see more than you can inside a car.
I was inspired to shoot some video while riding yesterday and made this little video. I feel like a regular filmmaker.
