My brothers, Dale and Bryan, wanted to jazz her up a bit, crank the seat down to make her a lowrider, a few mean sound affects, you know, not so 'old lady' like...make people realize I meant business when I pulled up to their establishment! I settled for some minor tweeking that means I can now reach the handlebars and sit on the seat at the same time.
Peter, the lovely man who delivered my scooter is from Golden Technologies in Barrie Ontario and the company has been kind enough to give me my liberty in the form of this scooter (notice it matches exactly my glasses!) as a loaner for whatever the period of time it is that I need it. What a terrific 'in kind' donation the value of many thousands of dollars. Invaluable to me!
Thanks must also go to John and Brenda Hartley who through their medical supply business, deal with Golden and requested the donation. They have for the second time, arranged for this invaluable service to me. (They'll be mortified that I mentioned them but, J & B, it couldn't be helped)
There have been four transplants since I arrived in July. I'm moving up there. It could happen for me at any time. Hopefully I won't need to use the scooter for very long but as I do now
Please Help Me with a Name

Because of a dog named Kansas, I think of The Wizard of Oz. Because of a red scooter (which is certainly NOT in Kansas), I think of Dorothy's equally red shoes. Dorothy would be a very blah name for such an awesome vehicle, so I nominate OZ or, even better, "AWES" as the name for the scooter.
Think of you often, Sandra, especially as I walk past "your" house.
All the best,
Marie deCoste, Studley Ave., Halifax
I'd call her "Ruby" if she was mine.
betty boop! She loved flash and red and the name betty is just very underused these days!
...or how about Ruby the Roadrunner?

And the winner is a mush of all contributions. Ruby the Red! She suits her name well and her street admirers really like the name. Hope you all do too!
Sandra
