The Wonders of Craig's List

Most people, come the warming temperatures of spring, feel the need to do a solid spring cleaning and purge their house of excess things.  Us?  Well, somehow that urge hits us in the fall.  Or mid-winter.  Or anytime but spring.  So, tired of climbing through "Bicycle Alley" in our garage and armed with a trusty point-and-shoot camera, we pulled out all the sporting goods we don't use anymore and posted them to Craig's List.  Ten minutes later, the we had people interested in bicycles, golf clubs, an old roof rack system and more.  That's the great thing about Craig's List-- it allows items that still have use in them, but aren't used by their current owner, to find a new home and new life with someone who can use them.  It keeps perfectly good items from going to a landfill, and makes the environmentalist in me happy, as well as fostering a sense of community.  So, hooray for Craig's List, and happy Monday!
