Electric scooter

Today is the second consecutive day I saw a driver picking his nose from the rearview mirror, while on my way to work. Gross!!

To my highlight of the day: I was about to leave work, when I see this guy going out the same door as me with a little yellow electric scooter. You know what a scooter is right? Those little things with a handle, for your two hands and then a little area for you to stand on. Its like a skateboard with different wheels and a handle. Anyways, this one is an electric one and the first time I've seen it up close. While I was eyeing it, we struck up a conversation about if he can get home on it, how far it goes using 1 full battery power, when he suggested I try it. I didn't pretend to be shy. haha.. So, I took it for a little whiz. Its quite fun. The accelerator is the right knob (what is usually a right brake on a bicycle) and the left is the brake. It goes quite fast. I don't know if it goes as fast as the segway. (One of my old co-worker has a segway and I've been on that.) I think maybe its a little easier to balance on the scooter, even though I don't think you can fall off the segway unless you are trying really hard to intentionally fall. Maybe its because the scooter is closer to the ground, with smaller wheels and the handle is lower, all of which gave me a sense of security that I don't have far to fall. :)
Really happy to add a new riding experience into my collection. ^_*

And I think pumpkins are so cute. Only the cute ones of course; the nicely rounded ones which you can use to carve. And I am thoroughly impressed by the different types/shades/colour of gourds available now. I was thinking about buying them for decoration, but maybe its a waste of money. And multi-coloured corn looks so awesome. I wonder if they are for decor only or if I can really eat them. I think they can be eaten, right? Let me know.
I think I should learn how to make a pumpkin dish. Its pumpkin season and I am so tempted to buy one. Did you know that the pumpkin is a fruit? =)
