THE NR MOBILITY DEVICE CLUB ( MDC )
By Scary Barry Rodriguez September 9, 2011
It was a quiet day in the sleepy side of Daly City when a loud rumble could be heard in the distance. Seniors riding mobility devices clogged the sidewalks leading up to a McDonalds fast food restaurant located near a local Post office. The poor unsuspecting teenage employees thought this morning would be like all others. How wrong they were ! Crawford Dog AKA " Scratchy " was at the head of at least one hundred Senior mobility devices now converging on the McDonalds.
Scratchy had the vision to organize persons 55 years and older into a Mobility Device Club or MDC. The local seniors were tired of trolling for discounts and just getting by on fixed incomes . It was time for action. So the " No Running " NR Daly City MDC was born ! They would storm local businesses and get those discounts. No more begging ! They couldn't run but eventually no one would be able to hide from their wrath !
Joe, a pimple faced teenager working the counter at the McDonalds looked up in alarm as hundreds of seniors riding mobility devices tried to crowd into the small fast food restaurant. Scratchy bellowed their war cry . " We ain't begging for discounts no more ! ". Alana the morning manager heard the ruckus and headed up front. She immediately sensed that these seniors were different. They were attired in denim jackets with the letters NR MDC on the back. Scratchy the leader had a long white beard and an evil look in his eye.
I want 100 small cups of decaff coffee right now and we ain't paying full price ! Scratchy made their intentions known. Other seniors started waving their canes in the air and gesturing. The regular patrons fled in fear ! Maggie AKA " Hard head " dropped a wrinkled twenty dollar bill on the counter with a thud ! Alana tried not to panic as she urged on her stunned teenaged employees to gather up the required coffee. Scratchy turned around and addressed his club. " Now Daly City will know its not business as usual ! " There was what bikers called a bottom rocker on back of Scatchy's denim jacket spelling out Daly City in red cloth letters.
The six teenaged employees were so nervous that they were spilling some coffee on the floor. The members of the NR Daly City MDC gunned the engines of their mobility devices in unison. It was an awe inspiring demonstration of power. Some of the mobility devices had been modified to go at least 60 miles per hour. Outside some of the club members were shaking down citizens for change. The situation was getting out of control ! Alana texted a 911 message to the Daly City police department.
Sergeant Bollis was just drinking coffee and reading the sport's section of a newspaper when he was contacted by dispatch. He could hardly believe what he heard. Rowdy seniors at the nearby McDonalds. It had to be a joke ! Bollis and Bud Jones another officer headed over to the fast food restaurant at a leisurely pace in their squad car. Whoever was pulling this stunt had a lot of explaining to do !
As the squad car pulled up in front of the McDonalds it was immediately surrounded by angry senior citizen club members. They were shouting , " we didn't order any bacon ! Just coffee ! " Bollis had trouble exiting the squad car because the NR's mobility devices were pressed against the car's doors. Finally Sergeant Doug Bollis managed to enter the McDonalds and was confronted by Scratchy. Maggie AKA " Hard Head " was close by and " Big Sal " Reddy the club enforcer stood watching. Officer Bud Jones started to smirk but stopped when he saw the look of concern on his sergeant's face.
" We got the right to ride our wheels anywhere we please ! " exclaimed Scratchy. " We don't need any bacon either ! " shouted Maggie. Doug Bollis took the reasonable approach and assured the club that they would get coffee discounts anytime they wanted. Alana started to protest but was cut off by the hard stare of the sergeant. Bollis was trying to calm the situation down. Oh no ! Everyone stared outside as the channel Five news van pulled up in front. Just what they didn't need right now was the media turning this into a riot thought Bollis. As the camera crew entered the McDonalds , Scratchy grinned like a cheshire cat. Now the NR's were on the big radar screen !
Scratchy was the first Daly City chapter president but also had to answer to the governing board referred to as the OBs " Old Boys ". There were some rough and rowdy seniors in this first NR chapter. This little Daly City caper was already a success ! After everyone had guzzled down their coffee Scratchy gave the mount up sign and the club quickly left the scene. Alana was dazed and so were her zit faced employees. Sergeant Bollis was wondering how he was going to write this one up. Officer Jones had already texted his buddies about the incident. Hundreds of folks gawked as the horde of mobility devices rumbled away on the nearby sidewalks.
The birth of the NR Daly City MDC signalled a new troubling era for local authority. What would happen if all the seniors decided to rise up and fight back ! Couldn't they just play bingo and walk their dogs ! When the Mayor of Daly City was advised of the situation he quickly contacted all the other local Mayors. Worry lines started to form on the forehead of Sergeant Bollis as he tried to the best of his ability to explain the incident in his report. How could he know that it would only get worse ! Outlaw mobility device gangs would become the new threat to public safety ! This was still in the future. As the fog set on Daly City few residents knew, but soon that would change !
