I love how broad…
Hey, Dad! Hey, Dad! Pay attention to me!
Disneyland is my happy place. There’s just something about the park that just fills me with so much joy, more than I can describe. So I go as often as I can. One thing I have never done until this weekend was visit Disneyland alone. Something about it has always intimidated me. Partly it’s a…

I believe that an important reason why both myself and my scooter suffered only mild injuries from the accident was because of a few safety practices. Specifically, I was driving at a moderate speed with the flow of…
