That was impressive...he said. Never again...she said.

So we are going around the area on our Scooters today. We stop at the Chamber of Commerce, and find out there is a Walmart about 3 miles up the road. Now, Rt. 1 is a four lane road, with a divider, 2 lanes each way. We are going along about 35 (speed limit is 45) and Jim moves into the left lane, as I spot Walmart ahead on the left. I look in my rear-view mirror, and I'm not as lucky. I'm driving along, as these cars pass me, and I slow down, which makes more cars move over to the left lane to pass me. I finally get in the left lane and catch up to Jim. He's in a left turn lane, in front of St. Sebastian's Church. I think he is going to take the left...pull into the Church, and come back out and go...oh no...not Jim....He pulls a U-turn. He's got the Scooter angled down to a foot from the ground, and I am right behind him, quickly realizing we are NOT pulling into their driving...I see a gully...and oncoming cars...and now I'VE GOT THE SCOOTER DOWN TO A FOOT FROM THE ROAD.
We get to the Walmart, and we're taking off our helmet's. He says..."that was quite impressive back there...but I really should not have done that". I said, "no you should not have. And I will never do that AGAIN".....and we walk into the Walmart....where I almost knocked a man on his butt, because I had a backpack on, that has wheels, and a handle, like a rolling piece of luggage...yeah...and I backed up, right into him....he was about 5.4 and I was very apologetic.....
