It Could Have Been Me

While driving home from my voting site yesterday, I found myself behind a small scooter.  Given that it was under 30 degrees, I had to question the judgement of the person operating the scooter.  Two wheels and ice are not a good combination.   As I waited behind the scooter at a four way stop, I could not help but think that what I was seeing was a kooky exception.  I had that thought a second before the large and loud Harley Davidson motorcycle pulled up to the interesection.  Just like deer, when one sees a two wheeled vehicle on a wintery road, one has to be on the lookout for other two wheeled vehicles. 

In the seconds after seeing the motorcycle, I was reminded that my own scooter and motorcycle riding history includes short trips around town in every calendar month of the year.
