Zooming

Posted on Tuesday 9 September 2008Sunday 14 September 2008 by Joshua


There it hung. On the wall in the garage. Relegated to a single nail. The long, dusty, black case had the word “Zoomee” emblazoned down the side in yellow and white. Picking up the lightweight case, I unzipped it and out came a shiny little scooter. The light glinted off of its chrome frame. The non-marking wheels longed to glide over a smooth, wide expanse of concrete. With a snap and a click, I unfolded the handlebars and stepped onto the deck. Aptly named, this little scooter sails across the highly polished floors of the Horizon Center with a single push. In a lightning fast 10 parsecs I can zip across the building (which as any Star Wars fan would tell you, is two parsecs less than it took Han Solo to make the famed Kessel run in the Milleinum Falcon). Now the envy of the entire building, Denny’s little scooter from Israel is providing me with quick transportation and lots of fun along the way.

    This reminds me of Peter Jackson. He used to zoom from one set to the other on his bicycle, but I bet he would have used one of these if he had one.

    I though it was hard to catch Josh before!!
    Well he works very hard so he is intitled to have so fun too. He doesn’t have Robert to hold him back (just kidding).
