| I dropped Andrew's van off this morning and picked up my motorcycle. I don't own a car. Two wheels good - four wheels bad unless, of course, you have to move.
I stopped off at the Star Store to pick up some groceries. After loading the bike, I was starting to put on my helmet when an elderly woman came out of the store and started to walk by me. She must have been in her eighties. She had that tired stiff legged walk of the old.
As she came abreast of me she looked over at me for a moment and asked "Doesn't that helmet get hot?"
"Not if I keep moving." I replied.
She thought for a moment and then waved a finger towards the bike. "When I was riding those things they didn't have helmets."
She then continued on with her stiff legged walk. |
