Get the ‘nuts out of your house

The Postal Shoppe is accepting plastic peanuts for recycling during January.

The pack-and-ship business has two locations, one in Rockford’s Edgebrook Center and one at Perryville Crossing near CherryVale Mall.

For more information, call Larry or Patty Hinkle at 815-397-7301 or 815-484-0940.

P.S. Beware the power of Styrofoam! (In the movie “Bolt,” the dog thinks such peanuts are his Kryptonite. See him land in them in the trailer below.)

There were, as usual, a slew of polar bear plunges across the country Thursday to ring in the new year, like the Coney Island folks above.

Some are fund-raisers for the usual causes, but others raise awareness for global warming and the plight of polar bears.

Below is video if you’ve never seen the madness before.
