Scootin’ around

Proper scooter use vs. improper scooter use
The only thing standing between me and humiliation in the form of a scooter is the 4-year-old.
That’s how bad it is, with gas hovering around $4 a gallon - cheaper than milk, still - and the economy in a nosedive.
Pre-recession, or whatever this is, the sight of a man on a scooter in traffic brought two reactions from me: anger that he would dare take up my road space, and perhaps a sigh as I wondered why the man couldn’t afford a real vehicle.
Now it brings a look of envy and a desire to own one. But the 4-year-old needs to remain safe, and very safe he is in the mighty KIA.
If I start feeling envious of the bicyclists, that will be cause for alarm.
