Recycling

I'll confess that I just recent became a convert to recycling those damned plastic bags...don't know why it took me so long to get to it because I'd gotten pretty good with paper, cardboard, the right categories of plasticky things, and glass. I've never much liked plastic bags anyway, but the drudgery of collecting the newspaper bags and the shopping bags seemed more than I wanted to do.

And yes I have collected recyclable bags for the grocery stores, and they are quite useful when I remember to put them in the car. On the other hand, the carry bag I got from the Co-Op in Scotland which holds and keeps safe six wine bottles.

When I fall off my perch, I'd like my ashes to add to the earth in various locations in Minnesota, Scotland, and England. (Yes, I hear you thinking, "Well, finally he'll be of some use....")

Lee Hayes who sang with a wonderful folk group called "The Weavers" asked that his ashes be added to his compost heap, and I think that sounds appropriate and not very expensive.

But not for a while, I hope.
