Wednesday scooting started at home with a 25 mile ride to a meeting at the GDOT facility on Confederate Avenue. This is also where the Georgia Emergency Management facility is located. I have to say again how well Governor Perdue and GEMA with their many partners worked to put our cities back together after the great tornado storm damage. Without compare, our State has an incredibly dedicated public safety team!
From there I scooted to a lunch meeting at Manuel's Tavern on North Avenue. We needed to continue our discussion regarding traffic safety data and State's comprehensive highway safety plans. What wasn't in my plans was the rain. I thought I could leave at 1 p.m. and beat the rain. Now I can notch riding a scooter in the rain as an experience. Fortunately I had a raincoat and thankfully, it wasn't all that bad. The helmet kept my head dry, so only my knees got wet.
Other than that, riding the scooter was fun, fun, fun. I again have to say the driving public was very courteous.
