Default EAA plans major building expansion?

What's a scooter pass?

Permission to drive a motorized vehicle on the grounds... a.k.a., "License to
Kill". :-)

Ron "I had one last year" Wanttaja


*******. I would happily settle for a bike . . .

True story: Our group rents a house in town for the duration of the
show. The people we rent from work security during the show (they are
teachers during the other 51 weeks of the year). We have tried many
times to milk the fact that we pay them large dollars and reside in
their house for some kind of security-related favoritism. All to no
avail.

On the last day of the show last summer one of our vendors stopped by
our area and chatted for a bit. I mentioned my longing for a scooter
pass, and he proudly pointed out that the scooter he was riding was
sans pass--he had managed to sneak about for the whole show. The
folks from whom we rent the house (again, security people) also
stopped by--at that same time--to say hello and so forth. Thus our
display became an impromptu ambush for our poor vendor. In the end we
just had to sit back and observe the carnage from a safe distance.
