Thanks for the reminder. It's so easy to stop at WalMart and pick up stuff cheap, but my local still-family-owned hardware store, pharmacy, jeweler and garden store are struggling to hang on. It really does make a difference to them where I buy my dustmop, or thermostat timer, or flat of pansies.

Name calling doesn't help anyone, y'all. Just think about where you spend your money, make the effort to do it mindfully, and try to witness without knocking people on the head. Doesn't work in religion OR politics OR anywhere else.
