On the local blogs

• We're always looking for ways to recycle and/or safely dispose of our stuff (we have a mammoth collection of expired fluorescent tubes), and Dan Westphal via Stonehill News has pointed out a couple of good places to find out how to get rid of it all without messing up the environment.
• Lori Webster @ Webster's Fine Stationers (and fine Altadenablog sponsor) has a thoughtful essay up on her blog about the importance of buying locally, especially in hard times, that we highly recommend.
