For those of you in or near St. Louis, AG Nixon and several other law enforcement and consumer advocate types are hosting a "Shred Day."

You are invited to bring your sensitive documents to be shredded - things like bank and credit card statements, anything with your Social Security #, etc. If you don't have a shredder, this is a great opportunity. Or if you do have a shredder, but you have so much junk you don't want to run it through page by page (like yours truly), this is for you. 8 a.m. to noon at the Galleria at 40 and Brentwood. Look for the big truck and banner.

Note: This is not bulk trash day. We had people last year bring in old slippers, spirals full of class notes from college, and you wouldn't believe what else. They were politely turned away.
