Secret message from Sybil to Grandma_J’s granddaughter:
-when Grandma’s not looking, take the pic and post it on here. She’s pretending that you’re ‘not much of a photographer!’-
Update on the kick scooter. I’ve practiced using it in our neighborhood enough times that I feel comfortable on it. Since it’s not electric, it takes quite a bit of energy, but coasting is nice and I can move a lot faster than walking.
Anyway, I’ve had trouble figuring out where it’s legal. From things I’ve read, it can be used on sidewalks and I don’t need to wear a helmet…unfortunately, it can’t be used in stores and restaurants, so how do I keep it safe when I go into a public building???
Also, I guess I’d need to check with individual places like zoos and such because I’d hate to bring it there just to be told I can’t use it.
My daughter asked me to go to the Minnesota State Fair with her family today. I knew my feet couldn’t take all the walking, so I declined. She said there were wheelchairs for rent and lots of people were using them. She didn’t see any kick scooters, though. 
I found some interesting info online. I’m attaching it, so y’all can be informed.
I think when people “hate” adults on scooters, it’s ts because they are big, burly, going at high speed, and with a small clearance when they pass a pedestrian (imagine some of the less thoughtful young adults you know). I’ve never had anything but smiles, particularly when coasting along slowly with my daughter. If there is heavy foot traffic though, it makes sense that’s not a place to use it. Ditto with the inside of big shopping malls, where people are likely to stop or turn suddenly and there’s a high risk of collision. For something like an outdoor zoo, I’d call them first, starting with an explanation of your condition first, then how the kick scooter helps you, and see how you go.
Re keeping it secure, many kick scooters have some sort of space you can insert a bike lock through, then you can lock it up as you would a bike. I’m not sure of the situation there - we often have bike racks outside buildings in public places. If ithe scooter doesn’t have somewhere to put a bike lock, there are custom made locks for scooters where you put a thingy on the frame using some tools, and a lock will feed through the thingy (highly technical, I know! 
)
