You would think that changing an engine in a motor scooter would be a simple thing; take out four bolts, lift out engine, set in new engine,put four bolts back. But there are several hundred other things to do, and some of them have to be done over and over until you get them in the right order. It's not real technical, but it's aggrevating. Makes you have bad dreams.

Someday when I'm rich and famous, I'm going to get you a nice scooter. It will hover, have GPS and radar-guided automatic avoidance abilities, be powered by a small fusion power plant the size of a briefcase, and have nifty little rockets on the sides (for looks, if nothing else).

(I actually don't want to be rich or famous, come to think of it - but if I did, then it would be at least that long before I actually got there.)
