No matter what downtown you live near tiny electric scooters and gun violence are now normal. I thought I was living in the worst U.S.A. area, but then an old area I used to live in has suffered a bad shooting as well. Cold weather and a collapsing economy are making tempers flare in many areas. People want to blow off steam seeing music, but rent and parking downtown now seems to cost one million dollars. Uber and cabs are now extremely expensive. Music fans now park at a nearby hotel, and scooter a couple of miles into downtown areas. Unfortunately no area is safe anymore. The result is crime scene photos covered in tiny scooters that are a strange mix of the childlike and the morbid in one glance. I seriously do want to buy a tiny bike-scooter after seeing tiny scooters all over the last set of Austin music district murder photos. The scooter people were the ones that lived.
So many scooters!14 inch wheel E-Bike scooters are only 50 pounds, and 20 inch E-bikes are an unusable 200 pounds.
I bought one of the Actbest Mars e-bikes, and wanted to warn other customers to buy a tiny scooter instead. The battery does make it go fast up small hills for the first two months you ride it. I bought one of these in black, and it says on the description it is 70 pounds, but when I weighed it the product was over 200 pounds without the battery. With a battery it is more heavy. This is why tiny scooters have taken over downtown as E-bikes are now too huge. You think it folds so you can take it places, but it bangs up and bruises up your arms and legs so badly getting it out of storage you won’t want to move it. Two teenaged cousins had to help me put it in the back of an SUV. It will not go on bus bike racks. The heavy weight makes it fall over and bang your legs with large bruises constantly when riding. It is so heavy it doesn’t go up big hills, and you have to drag the huge heavy weight up large hills. It was pretty easy to assemble in two hours, and can drive a couple of miles to the nearby store, concert, and park easily if the weather is perfect. Tiny amounts of rain will stall it. This is NOT a car replacement at all. The battery has a tiny key that breaks every two seconds, easily snapped in half when turning, and easily falls off and will not go on key rings. They want 39 dollars for a replacement key on the website, and the heavy bike weighs so much you will need 280 dollar replacement batteries constantly. I am certain this is why they made it heavy so the bike will not run without a battery, the weight destroys batteries, and they sell many more expensive batteries. It can barely go 15 miles an hour before it starts weaving and rattling so badly it will not go faster another fact the webpage is not truthful about. If you are a huge gladiator that wants a bike made out of frying pan cast iron go for it, but a folding portable e-bike it is not. I will give it three out of five stars in my review for working a tiny bit, but many parts were lies. Next time I need short distance transportation I am buying a tiny scooter sized bike.

Heavy E-bikes may seem better than scooters but they are too heavy and tiny scooters are better for short distance travel. Tiny scooters have taken over every downtown area.
I cannot make it to see video-game, University student, and concert friends this weekend. Just as my life was taking a better turn with friends my car broke down. I live in an area with NO bus service for many miles, so I am unable to get to work as a teacher as well as weekend friend meet-up groups. I am looking at Google maps to find bike routes to nearby stores. It is a really good thing I have taken up bike riding as a hobby at this point as it is emergency back up transportation as well as a fitness gimmick.
Many thanks to my video game meet up group, student groups, and music friends I met for travel in Maryland this month. I play many MMO games with online chat including World of Warcraft, Adventure Quest, and Guild Wars. I am attending night school, and need extra homework books. In addition I go to concerts with online travel groups. I did each in Maryland, and used my many camping tents, lights, and batteries to save cash on hotels. The weather was too bad for travel for a while, but the ice melted a bit so I was still able to go at the end of the month. After every place in Virginia was horrifying and abusive to me I was very glad to find some better places to socialize with on weekends. In addition I have been going to many online night school classes, and the University campus libraries are far superior in Maryland which is how I made all A grades at Universities in 2025.
I am glad I didn’t go camping this weekend after all. For two seconds it was warm, and I wanted to travel. Yet the ice came back in a big way. Even with a huge jacket on I was cold. Here are some pictures of the car hood deep ice.
It is okay not to be a perfect person, and to try to live again. I may have had problems in the past, but I made all A grades in my accredited night school master’s degree program in 2025 so that counts for something.
The Internet was telling wild stories about the halftime show on the 2026 Super Bowl. I have had some ex-boyfriends make up wild lies about me in the past, and was unpleasantly surprised by how people quickly believed wild stories from the Internet. Just because several people on the Internet tell a story does not make it true. The Bad Bunny halftime music quickly became a magnet for the same type of lies. It was fully surreal how weird stories were flying into being after a bit of costumes and dancing. It just shows people should not blindly believe Internet gossip and wild stories.
Happy Super Bowl weekend to all. It has become as much of a holiday as Thanksgiving or Halloween by this point. I don’t follow sports very much, but I do like the half-time show and funny commercials.
People often ask me why I buy so many books on road-trips. Here is an example of why I am trying to drive to escape Virginia. I text my daughter and mother many examples from the years I had to get rape therapy after I was in the military, and how military wife teachers torture me daily when I am working at my teaching job. I found a new school I have to put on-block this week due to a co-worker constantly screaming.
