Riding In Paradise

A gaggle of visitors enjoying their scooters on Windsor Lane, and it looked like they were ready to have some fun Easter weekend in Key West. Renters for some reason like to sound their horns as they ride around town. I'm sure someone knows why but I don't. I remember talking to one guy who rides a motorcycle at home and he said when he rented a scooter in Key west he couldn't put sixty mile son it in a day. For some reason I rack up the miles even in town for an afternoon. Sometimes key west wheels make an artistic statement, and I thought these models on Fleming Street were looking longingly at these color coordinated bicycles.Seeing my Bonneville in a motorcycle parking spot always makes me glad I got to ride into town.If it weren't a Bonneville I really like the portly Harley Road King, which seems a lot of motorcycle for the Florida Keys.And then, after rolling through town and enjoying the sights, my Bonneville and I end up where all lives end up.
At work.

Dear Conchscooter:

What are the rooms like at the La Concha Hotel? I'm deighted life in the Paradise of Key West is so rosey.

The tree pollen is ghastly up here. I've just taken two more allergy pills to get the constriction in my throat under control. This first started happening to me last week, and I thought I was going mad.

I had switched my arthritis pain meds (first mistake). And then ran into this insidious allergy. Of course, this happened when I was alone for a week, and that made this a tad worse.

Somehow, the new bags on your bike lend it even greater dignity. Happy Easter!

Your Pal,

Dear Jack, Cheyenne is on benedryl as are many dogs down here as their skin itches in the summer heat. There are shots which Cheyenne may get later this summer but they are hard on their systems. I hope you feel better.
dear richard, the cemetery would be the final resting place but I intended in this instance to mean "work."
