So, we wanted to rent scooters to go around this little island. The scooter rental place was basically someone's garage. Apparently, they wouldn't rent a scooter to someone who had never ridden one.

I had never ridden one.

So I lied.

The woman said, "Prove it."

Crap.

I'm still not sure how, but I made it look like I'd been riding since before I could walk.

And so here's where I learned how to ride a scooter:

Part of a project I did when taking Intellectual Property (we had to register a trademark.) For the record, I didn't come up with the name, but I did come up with the logo design and the photo, which was taken with my cell phone on the passenger seat of my car, and edited in the phone. Because I kinda forgot about the requirement to include a picture so had to do this on the fly.

Hey, everyone! How's the Leaderboard Gang tonight?

I've been busy trying to get things packed up for my little road trip--leaving tomorrow after work.

Probably won't be on long; being sick takes a lot out of a person and working all day today was EXHAUSTING.

Where ya going?

Okay, made it through the pages that were produced in my absence.

Just a quick overnight trip with my sister and a friend. We're going down to Rome, Georgia to see the Air Force Thunderbirds Air Show on Saturday. Pretty excited--I saw the Blue Angels many, many years ago, but haven't seen the Thunderbirds in action.

See, I knew you had The Sickness! Gary and I have it, too.

Sounds like fun!

Due to heightened security concerns, visitors to the Air Show are restricted to what they can bring.
A camera bag must be one cubic foot or smaller. I have no idea how to determine whether my bag is less than a cubic foot.

The site also says you can have a backpack, but again, no larger than one cubic foot.

I'm considering taking my smallest camera bag, then putting my bigger lens into a backpack and taking that too. Nothing on the site says you can't take BOTH a backpack AND a camera bag, just what size they have to be.
