the death of Pepe

This Jeremy blog entry is one that must begin on a sad note. Pepe la Moto is my beautiful blue scooter that I bought from my good friend Dena Scher. I've had Pepe nearly the entire time I've been in Israel I've made multiple voyages on him nearly every day I've been here over these last two and one half years. Effectively, next to Shimshon, he is perhaps my most enduring friend here in the holy land. Sadly this last shabat, pepe sputtered out a frightful fit of words that went from the familiar machine gun like, "wan-wan-wan-weeee-wan-wan-weee-weeewan-wan-wan-" and grumbled down to a, "waah-waah-whaah-whhhoo-whhaah" before sputtering to a complete stop.

Unfortunately the estimated value of my bike is about one fifth of the last set of repairs I did on it and it doesn't seem worth it to keep fixing Pepe. So, sadly, the time has come to part ways with this true and trusted companion.

Be well my friend. Thank you for a great few years.
