Ok, I am very satisfied with my cheap as hell e-bike that folds up small enough to fit in a Prius trunk but I just discovered that Vespa makes an electric model that only costs 15x as much and I am wistful.
Is it this one? [link]

Yep. So pretty. I have wanted a Vespa since Lou Reed did that Honda commercial and that one calls to me so strongly! I will have to work on arranging my life to make owning one practical.

In perpetual motion here. Today the usual work stuff, plus going to Miami at 10 to look at a boat. Then noon back here to move all my stuff to BIL's house where DH will spend the summer and I'll reside from time to time. Tomorrow at some early hour picking up 18 teens and driving to Orlando for 3 day basketball tournament. I plan to do as much food prep as possible, but don't even know the actual schedule yet. Hope to get info on that from DH on the road to and from Miami. We will have a kitchen at the hotel. (I know how to feed them easily enough, but don't know the game schedule or kitchen capability yet) Back late Monday and then Tuesday evening get the big ass rental truck to pack all our shit to take to NY. Leave Wednesday for NY with 3 animals and 2 vehicles. Travel 3 days. After about a week DH flies back to Ft. Lauderdale. Need to get him to commit to a date so I can make a reservation. I have tickets to fly down on June 30 for his surgery and stay a week. Guess I should get packing.

I'm here with Dana, btw. We're trying to keep her fed, hydrated, and entertained while she isolates in a bedroom upstairs. We're all testing daily and have had two rounds of negatives thus far.

Hang in there, Dana.

That does make me feel better, shrift! Best wishes for all y'all

Yes, everyone has been wonderful, of course. I'm eating better here than at home.

Oh, that makes me feel better, too. Good people.

Thank you shrift for taking care of Dana. So sorry you can't play together!!!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm glad shrift is there to look after Dana. I'm reminded of the bit in Douglas Coupland's Microserfs where they'd slip food to each other under the door, either pop tarts or individually wrapped slices of American cheese. When people were coding they couldn't be interrupted so they developed a menu of flat food.
