Grandma On a Moped

11/14/2005

I was coming back from walking Princess Leah at the RV park here in Congress, Arizona, when flying around a corner comes a bright yellow moped.

Up the road it comes, speeding past the poodle and me.

Perched atop the moped was a woman of 70+ years old. She was grinning from ear to ear, and took a hand off the handlebar to wave at us.

Grandma was wearing a white coat; its tail flew backward in the wind.

A block further, she leaned way to the left and rounded another corner, yellow moped and white coat speeding up the road and out of sight.
