That distance might be a stretch for the scooter, I thought. When the Lithium pack arrived, I would run some tests. I planned to at least force the sc...oter have a twenty mile round trip capacity.After my research I had ordered a thirty six volt, twenty Amp Hour battery pack. It had cost me $350 more or less. I had already forgotten the exact amount. That was a drawback to using Pay Pal and a debit card for payment. The money just didn’t seem quite real. Anyway I figured I had at least three. My next door neighbor Jenny got a call on her cell phone ordering her to report for work in the ER at Memorial Hermann Texas Medical Center in Houston. That is, by coincidence, where our injured neighbors were taken, it being the largest level one trauma center in the US. Since the roads in our sub-division had just been opened up she was able to drive into work. Her husband was pressed into service with one of the ambulance crews to work with the rescue operations in Texas City. Janet decided. Mark had a whole fortnight's leave over Christmas. He took his car with him on the ferry and wondered how he would find driving a left-hand drive car on the left of the road. He did not find it difficult although, turning out onto a major road he had to think hard to avoid going over to the right. He also got frustrated at not being able to see round big trucks that he wanted to overtake.It was wonderful to see his family again after nine months. His parents, of course, were the same as ever. Uncle Pierre was still teaching Jason the more advance training techniques to deal with our little birds, but neither of my uncles had any experience dealing with the family business. They could advise me on managing the Stables and Aviary, yet the main part was solely on my shoulders.Thankfully, the trainers’ families had been with us for generations. They grew up on the island and knew from a young age what their jobs would be. We didn’t have a normal economy on the island so they weren’t.
