Get the ‘nuts out of your house

Add comment January 2nd, 2009

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.)

Never thought of the Polar Bear Plunge that way

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.
