Raleigh of Nottingham

I've been feeding the Craigslist beast lately. Best Of, Musicians, Bikes and my new personal favorite: Barter. I love to cut the Feds out of the loop when it comes to interpersonal buisness. No greenbacks = no tax.
This Lady down in SE Portland was willing to clip Max's nails and 'express' his anal gland (among other grooming) in exchange for a bike. While I didn't have one lying around, I did track down a '74 Sports, with the three speed Sturmey Archer hub and a step through frame. I hope it works out well for her, and it should certainly get her to the grocery store and 4 blocks to work and back.
I was looking forward to Critical Mass all week. My anticipation was growing, until this morning when I got a call from work to go to Washington tomorrow. What a major drag. The likelyhood of my making it back by 6pm is next to nil. Oh well, I hope it doesn't rain on those mensheviks.
