I just love the way you phrased it “Those tablets and huge green pencils” I didn’t find them so i guess am still young. I have never found a sweet doughnut. I hate them. If i took one, i would have the worst running stomach trying to compete riding with my vespa. Don’t think it would be a good idea for me.
I still think it was good you changed Pudy’s mind. he owns a BMW! that’s cool. Pretty cool!

RichardM: I don't know if they still use those tablets in school. The company is still in business so someone must. Probably in Alaska where schools still use whale oil lamps but have wireless coverage.

Maybe someone can chime in about seeing them. I will do some searching myself.

As far as jumping off the scooter to make a quick picture-- the truth is I see so many things while riding that I wish I could stop and photograph, or more pointedly, photograph while on the scooter. Have not figured out a way to routinely do that though.

And I think I have lost my camera. Can't find it anywhere. Hope there were no incriminating pictures in it...

Alphonse Périgaut, Philosophe de Aïx:

Thank you for your poetic stylings, another first on Scooter in the Sticks. You have elevated the donut beyond the mundane to the heights of literary reflection.

Do you write haiku?

Ronman: Part of the beauty of riding a Vespa is that even the short rides seem like a thousand miles.

Wait, that didn't come out right.

Enjoy your donuts.

David Masse: I can still move quick when I must. After taking so many pictures you get a system down. The Vespa goes on the centerstand fast and the camera is coming out of my pocket as I running into position so I can catch the train. No need to remove the gloves yet since I wasn't into the winter gear.

The best part was that Paul never knew I got off the scooter thanks to Harley Law 2542: Never look in the mirrors.

Alphone Dahdou: I am so happy to have someone post here who is sensitive to the goat and yam. Such expertise is sadly lacking on most riding blogs. I must admit that we ran out of goat cheese last week and have had to make due with goat yogurt until I get to the store.

The building portrayed in the picture was never used as a prison or fort to my knowledge. I'll make inquiries though. Historical knowledge is important to almost all Vespa riders.

Dear Mr. Riepe: Paul has been invisible of late. Usually he is over here to have his portrait made with yet another motorcycle. I'll have to give him a call and see what's up. And to ask if the Hello Kitty water bottle will stay or if he had to buy a Sponge Bob Square Pants one for the BMW.

I'll have to take your word on the pie. I've have eaten a few slices over the years to be polite but just don't have a taste for it. And I have never had more than a small sip of coffee. How can something that smells so good taste so bad?

Brady: First time experiences have a way of burning themselves into your memory. That donut you had will always be nearby.

How are things in Germany? Have you made your way onto the Autobahn with a motorcycle yet?

bobskoot: My concern is that all my riding of late seems centered around getting to someplace to eat. That can't be right.

I have to go back to the drawing board.
