Craig and his wonderful list

craigslist pedal planeThe 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.

"At least i didnt fall off my treadmill like that one guy did."

He wants to know if you want to look for fungi with a fun guy.
