Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It can be, but it'll also show you how quickly the really good deals can get snapped up from under you. Even with a 15 minute refresh, I still get beat on really desirable stuff (well, particularly if the seller is one of those "honorable" CL sellers that gives responders dibs).

Two Addictions operating at the same time. I am concerned about a rift in the space-time continuum.

So you're saying that we should fire up a third, just to be safe?

I think that's short for iHeartRadio which is an app to listen to music and talk that people stream out on the interwebs.

If the sheriff creates his own Addiction thread we should all refuse to post in it.

Can't a guy forget and fall asleep on occasion??

Besides, I'm still on vacation. This Az air has dried up the inter-synaptic fluids and caused some neurological dysfunction.

Yeah, that last bit sounds good, I'm sticking with that one.
