The Vespa is always in the picture. Sort of a mechanical “Where’s Waldo” thing.

Not me. Would seem far too claustrophobic. I need to be in the open where I can see the horizon…

I stopped looking over my shoulder once I got out of the woods and on to a paved road.

Thanks for the kind words about my post, or as Mr. Riepe would refer to it, “to my drivel…”

That noted for all you know said structure was placed there for you to photograph with the Vespa, and when you left, the structure and stone orchard also disappeared. It is after the time of year for such activities to proliferate.

So what did you your wife and the digs do on All Hallows night? Do you have many trick or treaters to your door or has the population in Boalsburg matured to the point children are not seen or heard on such holidays?

Then too Steve, this time next year you might need some recreation and shall dress up in
some form of wild costume and ride the Vespa with a glowing jac ‘o lantern pumpkin glowing on the rear luggage rack as you drive through the town….

Was out with friends earlier in the evening; one had a skeleton in his Ural sidecar and yes a pumpkin alive and well on the rear luggage rack. And
no photographic device….darn.

But I briefly joked about nicknaming my Vespa “Nevermore” (as opposed to Melody), but I was thinking of the reanimated raven-in-a-box from The Addams Family than I was of Poe, strictly speaking. I just don’t “do” Halloween much now, not even like I did as recently as five or so years ago. Not that I’ve come to dislike it – I just point my festive energies in a somewhat different direction nowadays.

Nicely written.
