Water is a must here. Its over laden with fracking chemicals, and fertilizer run off. Most everyone I know around here drinks bottled water, they don't even like to cook with the city water.

I may try walking for larger purchases. Its been averaging 103 here so the bike is more comfortable than walking.

Even for the size of this city CL is almost unused. The folks that use it have been trying to sell the same stuff for over a year. I look about once a week and there is only a few new items. Being optimistic I put up an add looking for a bike anyway, and some pushy wack-job keeps trying to sell me a rusted Walmart bike that needs tires and tubes for only a hundred dollars.

I made a run to the store today and biked home with a gallon of water, vegetables, English muffins, and a few other things. I was able to make it home without crushing anything.

I'm starting to enjoy this more and more. I feel like I should have been doing this all along. Parking lot navigation is a breeze, hop a curb and I'm at the front door.
