shelves and bags

Today I learned that 2x4s from Lowe's make me dizzy, not that I expect Home Depot's would be any better, and that you can make pretty cool garage shelves out of $40 worth of wood. If I didn't already live here, I'd want to live here just on the basis of those shelves. Ok, and the non-carpeted floors and extreme lack of air fresheners, pesticide, and mold, but still.

Also, I found a wonderfully complicated answer to the ever-popular question, 'paper or plastic?'
