I AM LEGAL!

Kristen and I took our tests today at the driver's license office, and we are now legal! Yes, I now have a motorcycle license.

We took a two day motorcycle safety course this weekend. The heat was horrid. Two days in the afternoon, Texas, summer sun. Did I mention we were wearing boots, pants, helmets, gloves, and long shirts? I don't want to be that hot for that long EVER AGAIN. I do think that's a taste of what Hell must be like. No thanks! It's a good think there was shade, and they gave us plenty of breaks.

Naming my Baby

I usually have a gift for naming things. I helped named Kristen's scooter (an orange Buddy 125) perfectly. Nothing is speaking to me for my own, though. Kristen suggested something French since it's a St. Tropez model (http://www.genuinescooters.com/scooters/buddy/intl.html).

Since my political leanings are quite clear, you can probably guess that I'll have a hard time naming it after the French. I just can't call him Sissy, Coward, or Run and Hide.

I thought about Pumbaa since Pumbaa was a warthog, but it's just not working for me. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Battle Pic

I look awful but was told that I should post my bug battle picture. Since it was taken in artificial light, the shot is a little yellow. You can't tell how red my eye is. It was pretty.

Saturday morning, I had to page my doctor since my eye was beginning to swell completely shut. Thank the good Lord for prednisone.
