Just couldn't resist this one..." A Normal Sunday afternoon in G-Vegas"...
As Sundays go... they can be rather interesting...today was no exception.
This Sunday I was headed towards Elks' neighborhood to help out around his homestead with everything he has going on... I figured it would be good to do...
So I venture over towards 'gasoline alley' tostop over to the Hess station for fuel and some food for the ride...
Then I hear the cashiers laughing as I'm filling up my 64 oz. fountain drink.
With fuel prices being a tad bit high... Old things are becoming new again, like mopeds.
Walking back to the car I somehow got into a conversation with the guy... "Only thing on wheels that you have to 'squeeze' 3 bucks into huh???"
The he mumbles something about "Not bad for seventy though" to whicjh I replied "Get 70 MPG with that thing huh??? No wonder you like driving it..." Now I was not ready for the reply... "Naggh...It does 70 MPH... bought it off a 'gear head' that tweaked it to do 70MPH...thing gets about 30-35 MPG though"...
He started mumbling a bunch of different things...and I quickly tried to walk away because I thought to myself... "I'm talking with a dead man".
Crazy Yeah...I might be, but not as much as either the guy that builds...or 'pilots' a moped to go 70MPH...
Whether or not this guy was pulling my leg... I'll shake my head and sum it up "Yup...Only in America"
