The Devil Is In The Packaging

You think being a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan is dangerous? Then be careful when you open a holiday gift.

P.S. And speaking of shopping … Are you a greenie looking for last minute ideas? Reader Dick Paddock has alerted me to a nifty shop. The only catch is it’s in Hartford.

The Connecticut Department of Envrionmental Protection (DEP) has a store and The Hartford Courant’s Steve Grant wrote an interesting piece on it a couple of weeks ago.

“I have visited it twice and found myself fascinated with the variety of books, maps and miscellaneous merchandise they have there,” said Paddock, a local history buff and author of a Lakeville Journal series on railroads called Rail Tales.

The store is located near the state Capitol. Fortunately, you can also shop at the DEP’s online store. Hopefully, you won’t injure yourself opening any of the products. Enjoy.
