Holster your pistol, cowboy, and recycle that varmint!

Read in the cops blotter that a Bainbridge man had shot his TV....twice. First with an antique pistol. Then (perhaps really wanting to get his message across) with a shotgun. When he was finished, he neatly placed the bullet-riddled boob tube back in the closet whence it came.



I had to laugh then when I heard about a noble effort here on the island to recycle old TVs. This weekend, high schoolers and realtors are teaming up to dispatch aged electronics to their proper place: the recycle bin. After all, the TV set and its cousin the computer monitor are rife with untold toxins: lead, mercury and other compounds I can't pronouce or remember. Point is: they are bad. So, load 'em up and take the old IBMs and Zeniths down to Ace Hardware's parking lot this Saturday (May 26) from 9 AM to 1 PM.

If only that poor gun-toting bloke had known about this event. Coulda saved those slugs for the apocalype or somesuch other nonsense.

Check out this site for more info and prices for each item. This links to Bainbridge Neighbors, a new site devoted to community news and events. Glad to see another group stepping up after the Bainbridge Buzz went under.
