Speaking of crazy drivers… Yesterday, I was driving to a chiropractor’s appointment and had to pass an area of heavy construction. I knew about the construction in that area, and decided to get in the far lane opposite it just to be safe. I signaled, checked my mirror, noticed that there was someone behind me, checked my mirror again, and was starting to enter the lane when I realized that the guy behind me was now almost *beside* me! I jerked out of the lane, and he went flying past at at *least* 75 mph. In a 55 mph zone!
Took an awful lot of willpower not to swear at him, let me tell you!
Gah! Stay safe on the road! Especially with Randie out there! Construction zones are a REALLY bad place to speed through, he was lucky that he made it through without an accident… you are, too!
Spill musta gotten that from me back in the early 80s. I worked the graveyard at Disneyland, and our “costume” were blue work shirts, blue work pants, and rubber boots. (I hosed portions of Main Street and the Disneyland Hotel, among other details.) My work shirts looked just like Spill’s, down to the “Pete” sewed on over the pocket. (In the same colors, as I recall.)
I’m sure it’s a kowinkydink, but it’s pretty cool!
Not really a kowinkydink. Supporters get shout outs. Wink. And who knows where Spill picked up her painting zip up mechanics work clothes. Salvation Army? most likely.
It’s a nice thing to have someone around to help organize things for you and give you advice. It’s nicer to actually LISTEN to the man! Oddly, I note she’s barely fazed by a near takeout…… driving seems to jade you to the ‘almost terrible’.
In the past (in her pink Vespid riding days), Randie’s driving skills have been questionable… speeding being a fault. She’s been in the driver’s seat for some time, but she never did have a FORMAL education. As far as we can tell, she has only ever crashed the one time… the first time she hopped on.
You are right, of course. But it sounds most passive to say “model of good scooter riding” … as if she wasn’t in charge. Perhaps that would have been funny though.
She’s got a ticket to drive, and she don’t care…
Getting a ticket for driving is another matter, especially without a license!
But now you have our curiosity, and we need a side story about Pete and how he lost his shirt to Spill!
I like the mystery behind all the names on the shirts… I will say that those names are supporters.

Two things come to worry me. Either they won’t give her a licence, or they will.
Yes, Randie seems to be a bit reckless out there. Do you think that she’ll pass?

Only one crash and no training is a pretty decent record I suppose. Better than many people I know!
Just one little quibble. You don’t drive a scooter; you ride it.
