HONOR YOUR WORD

        HONOR YOUR WORD By Aureleo Rosano 9/29/2016   Instilled in us as kids, was the idea of doing what you’ve said you would do.  Childhood stories and conversations with adults stressed the importance of honoring your word … “a bargain is a bargain.”  “A promise is a promise.”   Nine years old.  [...]

SCOOT ACROSS THE USA – 32 – PARIS AND SEGREGATION

SCOOT ACROSS THE USA – 32 – PARIS AND SEGREGATION Waking up in Gainesville, TX in the middle of May is not so bad, I thought.  With a little effort, and a little time, there would be life-saving coffee available.  My companion was still sleeping.  With a full bladder, however, choices are limited.  Get up and [...]

SCOOT ACROSS THE USA – 1 – SETTING THE STAGE

By |2017-01-28T22:53:33+00:00May 23rd, 2016|Categories: Rosano's Blog|

Trying to recall events, circumstances, and impressions from 55 years before is a challenge. In 1960 I drove an Italian motor scooter from Tucson (near the border of Mexico) in Southern Arizona on a zig-zag path across the USA to Boston, Massachusetts on the East Coast.  The maps say it can be done in approximately 2,500 [...]

SCOOT ACROSS THE USA – 2 – PREPARATIONS AND DEPARTURE

By |2017-01-28T22:53:33+00:00May 23rd, 2016|Categories: Rosano's Blog|

So … the decision was made to use the 1959 Lambretta to cross the USA from Tucson, AZ to Boston, MA, a map distance of 2500 miles.   Of course, preparations are necessary.  One doesn’t just start out willy-nilly on such a jaunt, but I wanted to stay as close to willy-nilly as possible.  Preparations were few [...]

SCOOT ACROSS THE USA – 6 – FIRST NIGHT OUT

By |2017-01-28T22:53:33+00:00May 23rd, 2016|Categories: Rosano's Blog|

So this was Show Low, a small town, a popular summer recreation and resort area, but also an agricultural and logging center.   Pine trees were everywhere, big pines and little ones.   I had traveled about 100 miles from Globe.  Not yet six o’clock and about two hours of daylight remained.   Highway signs said we were in [...]

SCOOT ACROSS THE USA – 13 – BARNEY DOES QUITE WELL

By |2017-01-28T22:53:33+00:00May 23rd, 2016|Categories: Rosano's Blog|

The mobile home (in my mind they were still called ‘trailers’) had two bedrooms, the furthest aft was fair-sized with two full-sized mattresses on the floor and a walking ‘path’ at the foot end of both mattresses.  It was wall-to-wall mattresses.  There was a large pile of pillows and blankets and quilts against the far wall.  [...]

SCOOT ACROSS THE USA – 21 – A TINY TENT FOR TWO

By |2017-01-28T22:53:35+00:00May 23rd, 2016|Categories: Rosano's Blog|

  On the road again, out of Denver, south along Route 85 or is it 87, but this time with a pretty passenger.  Heading to Colorado Springs, the Lambretta behaving well as always.  We would be encountering some hills, but what was lost on the uphill, could, as least partially be regained on downward slopes and [...]

Waking up in Gainesville, TX in the middle of May is not so bad, I thought.  With a little effort, and a little time, there would be life-saving coffee available.  My companion was still sleeping.  With a full bladder, however, choices are limited.  Get up and slowly get dressed, enough at least, to get to the [...]

SCOOT ACROSS THE USA – 40 – NEW ORLEANS TOUGH

By |2017-01-28T22:53:35+00:00May 23rd, 2016|Categories: Rosano's Blog|

In my sleep, in the middle of the night, there was vague awareness of Stella being up, moving around, doing things, and then being back in my arms.   Later, struggling to wake, I knew she was not next to me.  Able to open my eyes, I saw that she was in one of the lounge chairs, [...]

SCOOT ACROSS THE USA – 42 – ON TO MEMPHIS

By |2017-01-28T22:53:35+00:00May 23rd, 2016|Categories: Rosano's Blog|

It had rained sometime during the night in Vicksburg.   Hearing the sound of rain on the tarp told me it was a gentle rain.  Having taken two or three aspirins before trying to sleep had good results.  Since childhood I had always dealt with periods of insomnia and through that had learned the value of aspirin [...]
