Two stores around here have black ones &#8211; those will look horrible in no time at all.  A couple more have brown &#8211; also yuck and boring.  But a store in the next town over has these  and I finally remembered to grab some.  See- all colorful and pretty!  Sadly 3 of them had plenty of room to hold $103 worth of groceries, so as long as I remember to keep them in the car AND take them into the store with me, they should suffice for most of my shopping trips.  If you hear someplace that the manufacture of these reusable bags requires the clubbing of baby seals, rape and pillage of a 3rd world country or nuking of whales, please do not tell me.  I prefer to live in ignorance of the unintended consequences of my do-gooding.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And Fred &#038; Bessie have agreed to an interview tomorrow morning.  If you have any burning questions you would like to have the cows answer, please leave them for me and I will try to work them in.
