Day 25 of Daily Footprint Project. This is the bike I want:
A vintage Schwinn Beach Cruiser, for $140, on Craigslist. Above my initial $100 limit, but for such a beauty, I am willing to bend. The only problem is, it’s in Sacramento. Its owner may come to San Francisco in the near future. That means I will have to wait, and if he does come down, I will have to drive to pick it up.
I am excited. This could be my Christmas present.

Cool! Love. It. Check out my gift list. I have had to pause on the bike thing, but I have a couple other neat things.
Remember, my setup is different. I live alone, minimal income and a bunch of years downsizing.
Diversity is what makes our world so interesting, isn’t it?
My friend Margaret of the What If Foundation uses this saying “Piti piti n a rive” it’s creole — It means “little by little we will arrive.” sortof reminds me of what you are up to
