For Sale

Basso Graftek
55cm frame, custom 11 coat Imron finish.
1991 Shimano Ultegra 14 speed groupo
Campy headset, seatpost
Cinelli bar and stem
Suede Turbo Saddle
2 sets of Mavic Wheels, one sewup (24 spoke race wheels), the other are 36 
   spoke training wheels.
Clipless pedals

This bike is in MINT condition, has been ridden less than 750 miles.  This 
bike is my pride and joy, but unfortunately I've suffered an injury to my 
knee and can no longer ride.

This bike was estimated to be worth $2500...  I have hand picked the parts to
make it a great rider.  The frame alone usually sells for $1400!  (BTW, it's
a full, one-piece carbon frame very similar to the Kestrals, only stiffer 
riding.)

Asking $1,500 or best offer.  I must sell it, though.  Please make an offer,
no matter how low.

Please respond to mclement@digex.com or call me at 202-336-3823.

Thanks.

Organization: Open Age, Inc.
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1992 01:51:23 GMT

I have a motley collection of weights and a bench to sell.  There are several
concrete or steel weights, and several sand in plastic weights.  There is
one big bar and several anchors to keep the weights from falling off.

The bench was a good one in it's time, but the vinyl has been torn.  It is
still useable, but not in good shape.

There is easily 150 lbs of weights big, medium, and little.

I'm asking $75 for the whole thing.  You can pick it up, or I will drop it
off somewhere in the DC area.

e-mail for more info, or call Paul at (301) 417-0980.

A hamsterball with said rodent also makes a great cat toy according to
a friend of mine.  A tad too exciting for the rodent perhaps but it
does get quite a bit of excercise.  He said the only bad side effects
occur when the hamsterball breaks (he managed to rescue the hamster
since the cat was too surprised to snag the beastie when opportunity
struck)...I've been sorely tempted to get one for my kitten but the
overhead of keeping a second pet around simply to amuse my cat struck
me as excessive ;-).

Walther p-38 (model IV *I think*) I am pretty sure I have some

lock hasp and cut to fit foam.  It was in top condition when I bought
it ~1986, but I loaned it to a friend who had suffered a breakin and
was nervous and when I got it back a year later it had some
"drawer rust".  I cleaned it up, but didn't mess with original
bluing at all.  I paid $230 in 1986 dollars, added bullets and
a case, but will let it go for $200 considering the rust.

Better than money changing hands, I would be interested in an

Depends on your definition of cheap.
My account is at a place called Digital Express Group, Inc in Greenbelt, MD.
Access for just e-mail and usenet is $15 a month, access that includes
telnet is $25 a month. You get one hour a day between 3pm and 3am and it's
$.25 every 15minutes over that. The great part, especially on the weekends
is that it's unlimited free time use between 3am and 3pm.
They have rates for a year too and you can either pay by check or have
your credit card charged every month or yearly.

Organization: Ur-Guh Complex Inc.
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1992 17:33:50 GMT

Some real numbers amusingly observed while stewing in my own juices on the DTR:

Time: 07:15 -- 07:55; ~40 minutes

Distance: From before the Fairfax County Parkway to the final toll plaza,
          say 8.5 miles.

Traffic condition: HOV lane - almost full speed (cars slower due to natural caution).
                   Non-HOV - bumper-to-bumper stop-and-go.

[an aside: Traffic condition prior to start of HOV: all lanes full speed.]

Some number crunching: Assume 53 linear feet per non-HOV-lane car. That's 100
                       cars per mile per lane. 2 Lanes. 8.5 miles.

                       That's about 2500 cars per hour, extrapolated out.

                       Each taking ~40 minutes rather than the "normal" 10.
                       That's city-gas-mileage, not highway.

                       In the HOV-lane, 130 vehicles pass during the same 40 minute
                       period. 74 are HOV-compliant, 56 are not. Assume they're all
                       HOV-compliant.

                       That's about 200 cars per hour, extrapolated out.

                       Each taking ~10 minutes. Each at highway-mileage efficiency.


Real numbers.

On another day (yesterday), 36 HOV-compliant pass, 13 non-HOV-compliant. Driving time
was ~35 minutes for non-HOV-lanes. Backed up distance was about a mile less due to speed
pickup near the main toll plaza (though the backup started before the FCP).

Real numbers.

Something isn't computing here; the new situation is BETTER for the environment? Even
over the LONG term?

Pooh.

That's something that still doesn't make sense to me.  Why have an empty
road at HOV-3?  I think that HOV-3(or 4+) should only be used as a means
to encourage more efficient transportation when HOV-2 would overcrowd the
available lanes.  The incentives for carpooling are more than simply 
faster commute times (my commute actually takes about 5 min longer since
I co-commute with one other).  The cost savings is significant.  Use whatever
figure you want for /mile cost.(Don't forget insurance and depreciation.)

I also find that carpooling is about the same cost (a little more) than
public transportation and significantly faster.  My main beef with public
transportation is that it takes 3-4 times as long to reach my destination.

It has been brought to my attention that Supervisor Berger is the

Let's try crunching some rough numbers.  Let's say you are right
about traffic flowing freely.  That means that the congested cars
are getting 20mpg and the freeflying ones are getting 25mpg.  Now
then, let x be the number of cars with one person in them, and y
be the number with three people in them.  Then the pollution
produced with the HOV-3 scheme could be represented by:

x/20mpg + y/25mpg

And the pollution produced without HOV could be represented by:

x/25mpg + 3y/25mpg

This means that if one out of every nine cars is HOV, you have
equivalent pollution and fuel consumption rates.  You have significantly
increased the number of people the road can handle, thus decreasing
the need to increase taxes and pave over more of NVA.

If the population and number
of jobs on the Dulles corridor increases, which it surely must
now that the new board chairman has declared that Fairfax is open
for business (when was it closed?), then the percentage of cars
which are HOV-3 will increase because that lane is horribly 
underused (according to your own testimony) and the regular lanes
are jammed, thus we will exceed the break even point and we
will save gas and pollution.

Since the use of carpools is inconvenient, those who do this for
their country should be compensated.  I would say that the
financial incentive, plus halving of commuting time is what they
deserve.  I really don't understand your attitude, except by
assigning qualities to your character which I don't assign
without more evidence.

Although you were not serious, overpopulation of the D.C.
area is the cause of many problems here.
