Looks really well preserved.
If it wasn't so far, I'd probably have bought it by now. CLICK HERE TO GO TO JustJunque's LINK on Albany Craigslist

That's so true.
I have relatives who live in the south, and think nothing of commuting an hour each way to go to work every day. It would have to be something I couldn't live without in order for me to drive over an hour each way. Especially right now, where I've been dealing with a health issue that limits my ability to drive, or flat out prevents me from driving when it's really bad. This GE looked really nice, I love the green, and I'm sure I would have had fun cleaning it up and trying it out. But, at the end of the day, I don't have any more room. I almost got kicked out by my better half for dragging home another Electrolux/Aerus, and that's something that I'm putting into the rotation for actual use. Now; that was a model that I've REALLY wanted for years. It was a half hour drive each way to get to that one, and I felt like THAT was pushing my limits. Fortunately, I wasn't feeling too bad physically that day. Thanks for making me smile this morning, by pointing out how different people define "too far". We humans have our quirks; don't we? I hope this GE went to a good home! Barry |

Where my aunt lived in rural Tennessee - it took a 2 hour round trip just to go to the grocery store. She stockpiled food months in advance for winter when the snow made driving that far treacherous on unmaintained back-roads (considering she had a little Dodge Dynasty K-car and not a big truck)
Where I live, going to the store takes 10 mins. |
