Want A Tip On Bagless Shopping?
I couldn’t pass this one up. Reuben Miller sent this to me from his Stumble site and it just seemed like too good an idea to pass up.
Imagine, driving, or riding, or whatever your shopping cart to the grocery store, detach the bike and wheel the cart into the store. Once at the checkout, no need for bags: just load the groceries into the cart, attach it to your bike and voila, a bagless shopping trip.
Of course, if you live in anything but a ground floor apartment it may not work so well, unless, of course, your building has an elevator. In any case, this just may have market potential.

too funny, max. i thot i was doing well by making and using cloth bags from old blue jeans. the bike/cart beats it all.
where abouts are you? the southwest is a big place. i have lived in the high desert of the eastern sierra for about a year now and am always looking for better ways to get along in this environment. i am from the portland or. area, so this environment is pretty alien to me. i have lasted for 6 decades and am a kansas farmer’s daughter. despite all those years, i am stymied by by the weather and critters here. for example, we had snow on june 6 which froze the tomatoes and the fruit on the trees. the quail got the bush beans as they popped out of the soil. the racoons got all the gooseberries and cherry tomatoes. the deer have munched the trees, turned the bush beans and tomatoes into a hedge. i dug the potatoes this week, and my daughter’s young dog, who has never shown and interest in raw potatoes in all of his life, turned the lot into potato shreds last night. maybe i should just sit in the garden of an evening with my shotgun. if you are what you eat, then that big deer ought to be pretty tasty. and then there’s warm quail salad with pomagranette vinagrette and coon skin caps.

Funny news about your garden, you write very well. I live in Tucson, AZ and have on and off for 40 years. Originally from Illinois. Thank you for the note.
