+++ Rode my bike to work today! (about 8mi)
- Dropped a new-to-me pannier in the middle of Davis square
+ but a nice driver stopped and waited for me to grab it from under his fender.
--- Forgot my cell phone at home in my bike-packing rush.
- I'm crazy out of shape, I shouldn't be this winded.
+ I'm doing something about it. :-)

Hah, thanks for the clarification!
Yeah, I saw the pair for $45 and clicked "buy it" immediately. :-)

Am I right in remembering that Alex had a pair of black ALEXs?

Almost -- he had some black Ortlieb bags for a time, which he sold on ebay last year, otherwise we have a pair of yellow Ortlieb classic panniers which he, um, permanently borrowed from the place he worked for as bike messenger some fourteen years ago. Oh, and he has a huge black messenger bag. And a small black messenger bag. Can you tell he worked in a bike shop? Anyway, if you ever need good used bike parts, feel free to ask us first in general; Alex is almost always tinkering with some bike or another and we have lots of parts collecting dust in the basement.
