So, for the second time a complete stranger has asked to take a picture of me and my scooter. This time, I was grocery shopping, or rather, had just finished, and was loading my bags onto my scoot. A very elderly gentleman told me that he was happy to see a young person on a scooter. He told me that he had a scooter after WWII (!!!), and that his daughter used to sit on the floor between his feet and fall asleep while they were travelling. He asked if he could take a picture of me and my scooter to show his family who was coming to town for the holidays. I told him I'd be proud to be in his picture. He took it with a very old-looking camera, thanked me, and told me that he would make me a copy and keep it in his truck, and if he saw my scooter he'd put it in the cupholder for me.
People can be sweet sometimes.
