I've stopped using the scooter for the most part. It's getting really cold out and the aluminum seems to be making an attempt at giving me frost bite on my hands. All and all I'm kind of enjoying walking to class now. I've had a lot on my mind and it's the only time I really get to be lost in my thoughts. Looks like it's going to sit in my closet all winter; there is no way I'm scooting when the ice and snow comes in.
