Exceptional Weather, WindJammer!
Greetings to Chris, on his skates.... to Scott from California! to his family and their joy in wind-sports too! to ‘Scoffel’ the itinerant musician-bear looking for a corner-gig!
Oh, and ‘Hi!’ to Dave and Lira (sp?) from South Carolina who laughed to see Scooterdude and his wacky sail. Pictures were taken and we was all hand-a-shaken! LOL
Even a police-cruiser stopped with blinking lights, not to stop WindJammer-Scooterman, but to assist and escort him down the street! Thanks! Its so much appreciated, the help and assistance and understanding of the Boston Police as WindJammer tests his vehicle and wind-power innovation. Boston persistently proves a sense of the creative imagination and the tradition of innovation and free-spirit!
Yellow-buses,...schools of the kids passed by, stopped and little eyes from the windows spied this crazy guy with a sail on his scooter, and you’ll never guess what he did next,.....”He put it up and balanced it on his chin! What a crazy cool cat!”
Faces of smiles, lots, suddenly appeared pressed against the windows. The light turned green again and off they went laughing and cheering!
“Off, WindJammer! I say!” and it’s another gust down this way and that!

A Lively Action in the Square - Smiling Faces
Beautiful again, with sunshine and lots of smiling faces! I mean LOTS OF SMILING FACES!
No, I mean LOTS OF SMILING FACES as in Guy Fawkes masks LOL!
Scooterdude in his residence-stage in front of Trinity Church is always caught up in some kind of lively activity of one kind or another. If it's not the Market, it's the Tuesday vigil against the War in Iraq. If not another demonstration, it might be Critical Mass. This time it was the action-event by Anonymous. Great music and the spirit of freedom and dissent. One couple asked me about it. All I could say is read their material, go on-line, and that this was certainly the tradition of dissent in Boston expressed again.
When it quieted down, Scooterdude was left again to be whisked away on the currents of wind, to drift according to the more meteorological winds of change.
