One of the scooter clubs I'm a member of, the Westenders, is featured in a great article in the West Seattle Herald. Once again, I'm caught in the act of waxing philosophical. You'd think I spend most of my time sitting in cafes wearing a beret and fondling my soul patch.
Ralph's quote pretty much sums us up:
"Being a Westender is a state of mind," said Ralph Leach, who wears a jacket of patches and buttons. "This is a family friendly scooter club. We aren't a bunch of derelicts, just some of us."
This lighthearted little news bite provides a much-needed respite from yesterday's rampant stupidity in the reader comments on the Seattle PI scooter parking piece.
I've received word that the Westenders article is in the print version of the newspaper, on newstands now. I've got to grab a copy tonight to read while sitting on the beach at Alki, eating cupcakes and waxing philosophical.
