I also remember being smart, with a wistful longing. And I also keep my old papers, for that reason.

I put them down the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink. Is that bad? ;)

Seriously, though: a lot of area retailers are drop-off sites for battery recycling, which might be a better option than just using hazardous waste disposal.

We were on a greenway in Raleigh. It got really windy so we hurried back to the car to avoid the supposed hail. It never even rained in our part of Raleigh.

My brother is a pack rat like that. It is hard to get rid of things that might be useful someday. But you have to consider the odds of ever needing it, and being able to find it when you need it. There is a lot of stuff not work keeping. Our house is still full of junk. I say, every time you move, you should lose 1/3 of your stuff.

You did properly dispose of those Nickel Cadmium batteries, right? Raleigh has hazardous waste drop off day the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month.

No, I couldn't possibly get rid of those cassette tapes that I never listen to.
