I seem to spend a little too much time surfing the internet these days, so I'll channel those energies to positive(?) use, posting some occasional items of interest...
First up, paper or plastic? How many people still get plastic bags at the grocery checkout?

Next up... the frugal lifestyle. Brad still balks when I tear paper towels in half since I don't need the entire thing, run around behind him turning off light switches, and try to sneak in a few compact fluorescent light bulbs wherever I can get away with them. Who doesn't like to save a few bucks here and there? Here is an article on 13 creative & simple ways to save at least $100 a week.
Do you often find the occasion to fly on commercial airlines? Or do so only once in a blue moon? Either way, you may want to check out the following website, which rates the best seats by plane type, and airline. Seat Guru
Have you ever heard of the freegans? They bring dumpster diving to a whole new level. I believe this is why the homeless camp in town is located in the woods directly behind the Kmart, Chinese restaurant, and grocery store. No such thing as a free lunch?
And this is an interesting video. A retired engineer has tried to prove that Stonehenge was built using basic principles of mechanics. It is impressive to see all that he was able to do on his own. This reminds me of the guy who built the famous Coral Castle in Florida in the early 20th century. Was he tapping into the same knowledge?
