It’s time for Season 2, Episode 49 of Welcome To The Suburbs Podcast: Watch out! Papaw’s coming in hot.
Did you know that if you pay a little extra when you get a traffic ticket, the state won’t report it to your insurance company? Doesn’t that feel like payola? The only thing missing is that you’re not paying cash to a guy wearing a pinkie ring at a clandestine location near the river. Then again, maybe guys named Johnny 2 Knuckles have Venmo accounts these days. I’m slightly out of touch with mob protocol in this digital age.
Jennifer had experimental joint surgery on her toe. The joint wasn’t something they fished out of a bowl of chicken knuckle soup. It was actually titanium. Lesson learned, don’t have that type of surgery over a holiday weekend. Her trip to the ER for pain meds included stepping around puddles of bodily fluids from someone who tried giving advice to a kid who jumped the line at Meijer. Ok kidding. Just love the opportunity to call back jokes from previous episodes.
Razor scooter rental is a part of life in many cities. Greg and Keely tried to rent them on a recent visit to St Pete; the only scooters left had seats. They were available because no one wanted to look that tragic. Keely, who’s more secure, couldn’t care less what people thought. Greg felt he needed white driving gloves, a clutch purse, and a rain bonnet. If he was riding one in plain view. Etiquette on where you leave the scooter once you’ve completed your rental seems to vary depending on the city. I’ve seen them in Indy on bridge rails, park paths, and up trees. They seem to be abandoned rather than returned. In St. Pete, there were specific corrals near intersections designated for the return, and you had to check in with a photo of the scooter at the corral. That eliminated my idea of saving money on Christmas gifts for the grandkids.
