Recyclers' friend

A woman at work the other day had a piece of old office equipment that was to be thrown out, but she really wanted a way to recycle it, so I took up the search.

The city actually has a good drop-off recycling program, but I found nothing offered for electronics. Searching further, I learned the Best Buy store does.

I walked up to the Geek Squad counter and asked, "Will you recycle this?" The young man looked in the box and said, "We'll take care of it."

A pat on the back for Best Buy. By the way, Lowes is also offering recycling for a number of items, just not electronics.

Incompetency primer

The man who tried unsucessfully to be declared mentally incompetent to stand trial for the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart was kicked out of the courtroom Monday for being unruly during jury selection.

Man, I bet nobody saw that one coming.
