Craig and his wonderful list

craigslist wine pressThe good thing about Craigslist: It's a window into our fellow community members' wants, needs and aspirations. The bad thing about Craigslist: It's a window into our fellow community members' wants, needs and aspirations.


Good or bad, we'll let you decide...

"If you think you are man enough to teach me something new and laugh while doing it, lets see what you know!"

The Freihofer's truck didn't deliver what she wanted.

Who knew an Ironman marathon could be such an opportunity to meet other people?

Not leaving much room for interpretation: "You are rude, snotty and unapproachable."

The plight of the solo hipster: He's looking for a lady to go to shows of bands his friends probably haven't heard about.

"It's probably better if you don't respond."

Of all the items of clothing that could be "stunning," a blouse would not be one of our early picks -- but here it is.

He's looking for a woman to supply him with the standard of attractiveness to which he's become accustomed...

See, there is a higher power: an angel appeared to help the beer truck.

The season is here again: near-miss traffic accidents caused by sundress.

"You were a little muddy and genuinely handsome."

As a general rule, it's probably not a great idea to use phrases from kids apparel as pick-up lines, but in this case...

A bike-by missed connection.

Markets in everything, yoga pants edition.

This week's literal-or-euphemism: "It drove me crazy to see you filling your tire at my next stop."

Modern question: Do you take credit for all the activity your FitBit logged while it was missing?

Bench rustlers in Saratoga!

A parakeet found in Washington Park. Wonder if it's this guy?

Organic gardening space "right in the heart of Saratoga."
