    Going to be making a lot of right turns, are you?

    Who is Marianne? A skate motor mechanic, I hope. I predict that your trip will be short and possibly painful. But hopefully instructive.

    Marianne said that I should get a sidecar for her if I’m going to be using these from now on.

    Seeing as Marianne is riding the unicycle, she is about a block behind. Her 4 inch heels keep getting caught in the spokes..

    She forgot to fill up the gas tank on the skates again and so forfeited a turn.

    Sounds to me like Liverlips and Dennis see this as Philbin about to leave the house using his XTI Power Wunderskate™ ….

    and Rose and I see it (properly, IMHO) as him having just arrived at his destination….

    3027 Maple Ridge Road,BTW, where he and Marianne are going to have dinner with the Spinkleys.

    Not sure how Farside votes…. and of course, I may have it wrong.

     

    Mavis Spinkley, of course, is casting her eye down the block that Philbin has just traversed, hoping for a glimpse of Marianne….

    but as Rose notes, she’s still a block behind.

     

    Later Mavis will tell Walter that if Philbin talks him into acquiring a Wunderskate™ of his own, and leaving her behind, she will NOT be pleased

    Walter merely smiles, kisses her quickly on the nose, and says nothing..

    She’s still “Adjusting her fuel mix”, if you know what I mean…

    They’re gathering their motor club, “Satan’s Skaters,” for a foray into the field where they will annoy some Sunday walkers. Always something fun to do for the Ballard Baddies.

    I believe you are correct, Susan. That makes more sense.
