Two brief items from today's news

  • San Francisco supervisors vote to ban plastic bags in stores. Aside from the petroleum required to manufacture them, plastic bags are blamed for gumming up recycling machines, taking up space in landfills and killing or sickening marine mammals.

  • Dog Does 'Heimlich' on Choking Owner. Toby, a golden retriever in Maryland, jumped up and down on the choking woman's chest, dislodging a piece of apple and saving her life.
