Other Ads. Mendocino county.

Text: Got a pick up? Wanna take a ride? (My favorite line from “Contact”)

I want/need/am becoming obsessed with getting a loveseat and rug and I’m broke.

I live on the Mendocino coast and most craigslist-ers want to “deal locally” and I’m just not local enough.

But you probably are. Want a folding bike? (pics below) King size bed platform? (Very nice, y’gotta take my word on that, but I’m keeping the rest of the set.)

Yesterday, I fell in love with a $25 loveseat in the Oakland hills, (sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/fur/226431932.html), and a $60 rug in Cupertino (sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/hsh/226727236.html) … y’gotta put the “http://” in front of both of those. Now while those ads are still up, and I am still very enamored of those items, I realize things don’t sit around waiting for me to find a benevolent soul with a pick up truck and a sense of adventure. But those would cost you $85, your time, and a drive up to the beautiful Mendocino Coast and for that you’d get/take the bike or bed.

This morning, the acceptable offerings are a $10 loveseat in West San Jose (sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/fur/227059695.html) and a $100 rug in Mountain View (sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/fur/227266493.html) again, add the “http://” part. So unfortunately the preferred of today are $110, they are better positioned, geographically speaking, for a run up 280 across the GG Bridge (no tolls!!) and on to Fort Bragg where it is shaping up to be another beautiful day on the coast.

Yesterday’s offerings (Oakland and Cupertino) are still the preferred items as I am seriously in love with that rug. But … the folk haven’t returned my email, and they probably think I’m nuts anyway so I’m willing to go for the green selections today.

Got stuff? Got ideas? Got a truck?

Want a really cool bike?
