Our new Motofino 50 cc moped. Click on image to enlarge.
Susan and I now own a new moped. Last Tuesday I had a rude encounter with a car that pulled out of a parking lot in front of me. The front of the moped disintegrated into many pieces and required a tow truck to take the rest to car and moped heaven! I was fortunate enough to be only bruised a little bit; I was wearing a helmet. It could have been a lot worse. It only took the Columbia Police 1 hour and 15 minutes and two 911 calls to respond! I guess that since I was not dead, they did not feel that this incident was important.
Hopefully the poor lady that hit me will help with the purchase; she was driving without insurance (she thought the car was insured... long story), was given a $450 ticket, her car was impounded and her driver's license was suspended. She was very lucky not to be taken to jail; she was resigned to this fate. I have spoken to Jerry next door just to be safe. Hopefully I won't have to go the legal route for compensation. She has bigger problems than me. She called the next day to see how I was feeling.
We are three weeks away from our great adventure in Philadelphia. As a reminder we will be closed from February 13-19 for the trade show.
Two early 19th century botanicals available at The Mouse House (click to enlarge).
More framed botanicals. We also have several nice sets of framed Ca., 1860 birds from Morris's Birds of Europe available.

OH MY GOSH!!! Steve!!!!! I hope that you really are okay and that you really 'only' have bruises. No internal injuries or anything like that! You are very generous to the lady that hit you. I nod in approvement. I hope that she does what it right by you as well. I guess the worry about your 'illegal' moped is finally laid to rest. I hope your new one was purchased at a legitimate dealer. ha ha Keep me up-to-date. Glad you had the opportunity to see one of the young people dance that you have been watching for so long.
