In the era of costs spiraling and easy access to products and services over the web, I feel compelled to put in a plug buying local, even if it costs a buck or two more. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of local places with poor service, but when you can seek out and find the good ones, it's worth supporting them with your $$$.
On Saturday, I had two experiences that reinforced that mantra. On a visit to my local bike shop to pick up new rear wheel, the mechanic happily fixed a couple of nagging problems. After that I stopped by the fly shop, where one of their guys helped me with some knots I've been having trouble tying. Both experiences got me back outside and enjoying pursuits!
