So, AP and I pulled up at our friendly neighborhood mechanic today on the scooter (Clementine -- all though, she is nick named FUNNY). Just to refresh your memory, she's bright orange and cute. I am in the Volvo that we have already sold to a friend, however the transaction is being hampered by that pesky "check engine" light. We, being good friends, wanted to get that fixed before giving up the soccer mom car to a 16 year old boy.
Anyway, we drop of the car, and as we are all standing around Clementine, Gene (friendly neighborhood mechanic himself) starts to ask about the scooter. We give him all of the congenial details, as we are used to bystanders admiring her.
Then, Gene says, "you know, there was a guy in here the other day talking about how he knows of a drug dealer who is always driving up Madison Road on an orange scooter. He said he doesn't know how that dealer hasn't been caught. He also said that dealer lives on that street." Gene then points at our street. HUH? REALLY? My friends, this brings up two of the many things I am sure of:
1. We have the only orange scooter on OakLawn Drive.
2. My husband is not a drug dealer.
I wonder if this is a widely spread rumor, or one that has traveled just a few blocks. Weird. If you have heard that my husband is a drug dealer please let me know. I don't think I have ever even seen pot.

You've never seen pot? I thought you went to college!
I haven't seen pot either.
Funny. Who would start a rumor like that? Its funny, Gene is also our mechanic, and I must say, he is quite the busybody. He know more gossip than Oprah. And he NEVER stops talking. My guess is that he was making up that story as he went along. Perhaps trying to understand how Crossroads has so much money or something. Have you ever noticed how stinking BLUE his eyes are? They are piercing.
oh yeah, that guy has some freaky clear blue eyes -- they almost look fake.
I like the idea that he makes up every story. Maybe that was his way of asking if ap is a drug dealer.
i have never seen pot either. smelled it in a crowd, but have never seen it.
That is hilarious! I would guess he's kidding too. Where is this mechanic?
I can't believe you guys haven't seen pot. that's great.
Love you! Krissy
