My dad's first accident, a car made a sudden right turn in front of him. He flew 6 ft, landed on his head (seriously, the foam was compressed to under half and inch), skidded another few feet on his face. Broke his hand (only one bone, amazingly) and required multiple plastic surgeries.

Another, he got rear ended and planted his ass through the car's windshield. He was lucky that time: his worst injury was wipershaped bruises. The bike went under the car and looked like spaghetti, though.

I totally want a Vespa but GF says absolutely not.

HA! I wouldn't consider it if my new commute were not changing to one mile each way. It'll be primary grocery store, yoga vehicle. Etc.

The problem for me with Vespas is that the seat height is too high. This one is the one I will probably get the Yamaha Vino Classic.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had a bicycle accident once that left me with two skinned knees, totally scratched-up arms, eighteen stitches in my face, and a cracked helmet. I don't even ride down the block without a helmet anymore.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My grocery store Rickrolled me while I was shopping.

LOVE the Tracy Letts thing!

I thought you would. I half expected to see my car in the background of some of those shots.

I totally think everyone should have a scooter... I'm saving up for one next year.

Somebody want to buy mine? It's adorable and fun and beautiful and...it's made me realize, I don't actually go anywhere. I do all my errands on my way home from work, and if I'm going somewhere later, I'm probably drinking. It's so fast and so much fun and so convenient and I totally recommend them for someone who is not me. But me personally, I don't get so much use out of it.

Good Call Tamara. Just different called different things in different places. That's what I went with.

I have plenty of Beer too... I think I'm in a wine mood today though, have like 11 bottles that I've been meaning to get into, but haven't really had the occasion.
