Here lies Harry Allen McGruder He passed when he wrecked his scooter He waved his goodbye, While fixing his tie They buried him in satin and pewter. Written March 19, 2022

Better to arrive a little late, than unfortunately be announced during a moments silence, that the late Mr/Mrs has unfortunately passed in an accident on his/her way here. True, poignant words. Hugs, blessings. Jennifer.

True. True, Jennifer. When driving a scooter (or car) don't try to do other tasks at the same time. Concentrate on driving!

Lol, the moral of the story, always use both hands. Tom

You got that right, Tom. This guy was breaking the golden rule of driving! Always keep both hands on the steering wheel at a 10 and 2 position. No time to fiddle with a tie or even wave goodbye. Do all of that beforehand.
