Rain, rain, rain and more rain in Boston, SIGH.... But the two 1968 Benelli mopeds are up and running; Woo-hoo. They are so much fun to ride and they get tons of attention. We picked up the second one yesterday after a very nice guy in Woburn has been working on them out of his workshop behind his house for a week. So we took the back roads home with the moped in the hatch of the car and we got stuck in a tunnel that was flooded from a flash flood (see photo below). Several cars attempted to go through and a small handful didn’t make it. We waited (30 mins) till they closed the road behind us and we back tracked.

Work is going strong and I have been really picking up more and more clients. I do get a bit more exhausted lately and I need to start pacing myself and remember to start snacking in between to keep nourished. I have been watching more of the Olympic Games and especially like the Diving events. OK Back to the Olympics..

What do you get when you put Winnie the Pooh, a picture of Jesus, another picture of a puppy and Donna Summers “Last Dance” on cassette tape? You get our cab driver from last night and we had a hard time keeping our composure during our 10 minute ride from the South End back home to Fenway. Oh, he also had cut some white tube socks and had them on both his hands, I suppose for some sort of protection or padding from the steering wheel. I couldn’t ask him why because Pooh was staring at me along with the photo of Jesus and the lonely looking puppy. I did ask if it was a radio station playing and he said “No it’s a tape.” The funniest thing about him was that he would bob up and down, dancing to the music and at every stop light he would pick up what looked like an inflatable or water filled dumbbell with his right hand and do a few arm curls; quite funny indeed. He thanked us repeatedly in a high pitched tourette’s sort of way as we exited the cab.

Don't forget Big Brother is watching (hee hee) Look below, my car in front of my building.
