free coffee

I don't know whether to look at it as hooray-McDonald's-is-supporting-an-organic-business or Green-Mountain-has-sold-its-soul, but I'm trying to think of it as the former...

If you want to encourage organic fair trade coffee at McDonald's, go by the Mickey D's in Davis Square (or anywhere) for a free cup of the new Green Mountain/Newman's Own Organics coffee between now and November 23...

My Damn Leaves

I will gladly gratefully adoringly pay someone $50 to come rake my leaves. Technically they're not my leaves, they're my landlord's leaves, but he lives in CA and we have an arrangement that I do that sort of chore for reduced rent. But this week there's no possible way I'll have time, and I've got to get them out of here.

It's the standard-issue Ball Square yard, front yard the size of two small conference tables, back yard the size of a master bedroom, and a drift of leaves in the corner of the driveway. It's about 15 or 20 of those paper lawn bags-ful, which I'll provide along with rake(s). It doesn't need to be pristinely leaf-free, just unburied so it looks like someone actually lives here.

If you or someone you know likes yardwork and cash, I'm at moonstonewater at yahoo dot com, or just answer here. Thank ye!
