> I'm getting ready for the scooter meet in Cochran, Georgia, March 20 - 24. I took the '47 Cushman out and ran it up and down the street just to be sure it ran ok. It did, but a couple of dogs tried to wreck me. I cured them with a handful of small gravel. A dog that chases scooters, or other vehicles, is likely to get killed. Unfortunately they sometimes kill the scooter.

I had to cut that short because WMM called me to supper. I guess the only thing else I had to say was that if you are in southern Georgia, where gas is cheap(relatively)and scooters run free, on the dates mentioned above, you need to stop by the scooter meet in Cochran. You'll see some very interesting machines and a bunch of old coots having a great time. It doesn't cost anything to walk around and enjoy the sights. Southern Georgia should be a tourist destination this time of year. It's beautiful.
