Oaks cycle between lean years and bumper, or 'mast' years of acorn production. Usually about 4 or 5 lean years followed by a couple good years. This happens so that the number of foraging animals, squirrels, birds, chipmunks, ect. diminish over the lean years, then the bumper crop hits with fewer animals to eat the acorns.
It was a nice warm night to walk around Noho, ice coffee in hand, full moon in the sky.
Some good tunes were emminating from this little bar, called the Basement (or Bassment?). I didn't see a sign, just asked this guy having a smoke outside.
This George Jetson looking vehicle is sold nearby at EZ Rider Motorsports on Rt. 5. It gets 85 mpg. and can go 70 mph. The top folds back into the rear trunk area.
I had an interesting chat with the owner of the dealership (this is his ride). He's very optimistic about the scooter industry in this country, and I hope he's right. There also is a brand of motorcyle coming out of China with an automatic transmission that hopefully will be a hit here.
Here's his website: http://ezridermotorsports.com/
As far as I'm concerned, it would be a happier world with motorcycles, scooters, and bicycles buzzing around, instead of 2-3 ton automobiles that seat 5+, with one person in them.
