Crystal Frontier - Calexico

Word from D-town is that the long-awaited handlebar faring for my scooter has finally arrived, so hopefully I'll have my hog back before the week is out. Unfortunately, I have my doubts. When the part came in, the guys at Erico called me as expected. However, the following conversation was unexpected:

PETER: Hello?
ERICO: Is Peter available?
PETER: This is him.
ERICO: Hi, Peter. This is [Captain Intelligent] at Erico Motorsports. We received a Vespa headlight cover for you today.
PETER: Yes.
ERICO: What do you want us to do with it?
PETER: (small pause) It goes to my Piaggio LT-50 which you guys have down there, so you should put it on.
ERICO: Oh, okay. We'll get that on for you and call you back either today or Tuesday.
PETER: Great, thanks.
FATES: Hahahahahaha.

My two main concerns: 1) they didn't know what to do with the part despite their having my bike for six weeks, and 2) he said Vespa, not Piaggio. Same company, different models. I hope it's the right part.

Following the advice of Mac North, I'm finally getting a new laptop. Huttah for the OpenSource movement, even if it is completely over my head.

Just now, a sip of Gatorade nearly ended my life.

So I've been writing quite a few poems for my creative writing class, but I'm not sure if I want to post them. They're not my best, and they're prompted, not inspired. Maybe I'll post some of the better ones.

Mundane routines suck. Down with work and school.

I hope you all enjoyed my show last night. The music selection made me sleepy, but I thought the set went well. I hate how the station ID's and bumps broke the mood, but not much can be done about that.

Yes.
