"Scooter Girl" Saves Gas on Paper Route

In the Kafka AP article I posted here he mentions Jessica Meuchel, 23, who uses a scooter to deliver daily newspapers in Pierre, S.D. He also decided to cover her in depth in a separate AP article that ran in local papers:

Jessica Meuchel cautiously edges her small scooter onto the street after dropping off a half dozen copies of the Pierre Capital Journal at a large office building best reached from an alley.

It is one of many stops she makes on this warm day, delivering 147 papers on a route that not only winds through the capital city but also extends to an upscale housing district across the Missouri River bridge that ties Pierre to Fort Pierre.

Meuchel chuckles when she tells a reporter that some customers in Fort Pierre call her "scooter girl.""It's my nickname. They don't know my real name, so they call me scooter girl. It's kind of cute," she said.

Long version here.
