Scootin' In The Sun

I had a dentist appointment 45 minute ride away. The worse part, it was at 2 p.m. and ended at 3:45 p.m. and the heat got to 109 degrees outside. Now for Phoenix, that's about average, but I try to never ride that much at that time of the day. I rode there in my leather jacket and gloves (to be safe) and cooled off in the air conditioned foyer. After my appointment I wasn't looking forward to the ride home. Slowly I walked to the scooter and got ready to ride. I started it up, put the jacket, helmet, and gloves on and got ready to rock it off the stand...but just then I realized, it's leaning to the side. This baffled me, "My stand doesn't tilt the scooter sideways!" I thought. My mind went to thinking that someone hit or slammed their door into my blue scoot and left it in it's misery. But it was still standing and running so I tried to rock it. It was stuck. After a few tries, it rocked loose and started to roll a bit. As I backed away I realized the reason for it's crookedness-- it sank into the asphalt! I couldn't believe it. I guess that's what happens in the heat however. Now my scooter's left a permanent mark in the dentist's lot, and I like it!

Oh and by the way, my Chineese battery is working fantastically.
