I’m Not The Boss O’ Me

Skitter picked out this 1901 brand Tie o’ the Day #1. It is her way of telling me she wants to go for a ride on a motorcycle. I hated to tell her that the motorcycles on the tie are as close as we are ever gonna get to owning one. Suzanne has forbidden me from owning one. Ever. It seems that she wants me to stay alive for a few more decades, and she’s paranoid that a cycle might jeopardize that.

We do not anything Suzanne forbids us from doing. We aren’t sure why. It’s not like she’s ever grounded us or sent us to time-out or any such thing. We just think it’s best to follow her rules. Just in case.

Dad let me have a red Kawasaki 250 when I was in college. It was the perfect size and had just the right amount of power for me. That doesn’t mean that real bikers on their much bigger toys didn’t smirk at me. But I was happy with bugs in my teeth anyway.😁

When I was working on my Master’s Degree, I drove a Honda Spree scooter. It could go up to 30 mph, if the wind was at my back. Suzanne says NO to my getting a scooter too. She did finally give me permission to get one to use only in Delta. But now, since I won’t be living there part-time anymore, it’s too late for me to make that purchase. Oh, well. 😞

Then again, because I won’t be buying a scooter, I will have more $$$ for dogs and ties. 🐶 👔
