Happy Fourth Of July


I hope yours is as uneventful as possible. Enjoy the time of reflection on the cost of freedoms here in the great United States of America.

Saving Plastic Trees one bag at a time


I bought a gallon of milk today. It was packaged in a handy to carry plastic jug. When I was checking out, the cashier started to put it in a plastic bag. I guess he thought that the plastic jug might leak as I carried it by the handy dandy handle molded into the jug. I told him to forgo the bag and I would handle the jug myself with the handle molded in the jug. I guess he wanted me to cut my fingers off with the plastic bag handles. Instead, I left him holding the bag.

I read somewhere that the country from where we get most of our plastic bags has banned their use in that country.

Ever wonder why they are called t-shirt bags? I know and I ain't tellin!

Ever wonder what happens to the bags that you see floating in the wind? Go here for a in depth analysis of the situation. 108 days at this post. Stick around Kathy's blog, you will find it amusing.
