So some time during the early days of my blog-hiatus, I've rediscovered my scooter. Ok, well, the picture at the other end of the link is not exactly my scooter, as my wheels and strap are green. Hmm.. come to think of it, I don't have a picture of me on my scooter! The only thing I can recall is that my friend Nick who took a video of my back side as I scootered up Ring Road in Waterloo, in front of Needles Hall.. Perhaps I should get a copy off him some time and show you all.
But, I digress.. I guess after a while of riding the GO train and having to walk from Union station to work, I got sick of it. Why? I think chiefly because I am a Lazy-ass, and I hate physical exsertion. You have to admit though, riding on the scooter is faster than walking! In fact, if anyone asks (folks at home included) I tell them: "Yes, walking from Union to work takes a minimum of 12 minutes (even if I race walk like the best of them, due to slow pedestrians), while going on the scooter takes about 7 (yes, including waiting for the traffic lights and doging slow walking pedestrians.. this time also rubber-necking and staring at you like there is a big wort on my leg)".. but I think on the scooter I get to go as fast as I want (.. er.. can) and get that much needed adrenaline rush.
